  39590>Hey, nice piano playin', Manilla
  Thank you, Miss M
  Whatcha doin' these days?
  Makin' records
 
 
  Really?
  Yes, really
  Do you still play piano for people?
  Well, depends on who
 
 
  Hmm, I'm gonna get you
  On a slow boat to China
  All to myself alone
 
 
  Get you and keep you
  In my arms evermore
  Leave all the others
  Waitin' on a faraway shore
 
 
  Out on the briny
  Where the moon's
  Big and shiny
  Meltin' your heart of stone
 
 
  I'm gonna get you
  On a slow boat to China
  All to myself alone
 
 
  Bette, I didn't know
  You felt that way about me
  I don't, I need a piano player
  Ah, just like the old days
  You're not gonna change keys
  On me are yah? Uh huh, oh
 
 
  I'm gonna get you
  (You're never gonna get me)
  On a slow boat to China
  (Not in a fast or slow boat at any crick)
  All to myself alone
  (I just get motion sick)
 
 
  I'm gonna make you mine
  (Ha, you'll have to stand in line)
  Get you and keep you
  In my band evermore
  (Now there's a new attack)
 
 
  Leave all the others on the shore
  (For me they'd swim to China)
  (To China and back)
 
 
  Out on the briny
  (I wouldn't like the ocean)
  Where the moon's big and shiny
  (Not even in a rowboat)
 
 
  Melting your heart of stone
  Come on what do yah say?
  (You always get your way)
 
 
  I'm gonna get you
  On a slow boat to China
  All to myself alone, together
  All to myself alone
