Let's take a slow boat to china and maybe we'll find a New way to play those same old games The stars just might show us and the captain will know us Shake our hands and call us by our first names We'll send a postcard to grandpa of a vase or rickshaw- He don't care We'll buy mom a kimono or maybe we'll just phone her - When we're there
We'll drink sake at night beneath the soft harbor lights- On the bay We'll build house on the hill next to shangri-li bill - And we'll stay
Let's take that slow boat to china (let's go) Slow boat to china (real slow) Slow boat to china (let's go) Slow boat to china (real slow) Let's go real slow
