Slow Boat To China
Lets take a slow boat to china. leave from south carolina
Lets take our time and go the long way
On a junk boat to thailand with your hand in mine hand
I sure hope we got something to say
Well, this old boats go no sail so wont you please hold our mail-
For awhile
Thanks anyway pal but the suez canal -
Aint our style
Lets take a slow boat to china and maybe well 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
Well send a postcard to grandpa of a vase or rickshaw-
He dont care
Well buy mom a kimono or maybe well just phone her -
When were there
Well drink sake at night beneath the soft harbor lights-
On the bay
Well build house on the hill next to shangri-li bill -
And well stay
Lets take that slow boat to china (lets go)
Slow boat to china (real slow)
Slow boat to china (lets go)
Slow boat to china (real slow)
Lets go real slow

On A Slow Boat To China
On a slow boat to china
By: frank loesser
1948
To spike jones and the city slickers and darlene vare
-- spoken:
And now from the grand ballroom
The s.s. ? ? ? ? proudly presents our boy singer: jimmy boofey
Take it away jim
Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All to myself alone
Get you and keep you
In my arms ever more
Leave all your lovers
Weepin on a far away shore (waiter!)
Out on the briny
With the moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
Honey Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All by myself alone
-- spoken:
Whos steering the boat?
Whos steering this boat?
Waiter!
May I get a drink around here, now uh...?
You ever been on a cruise?
Neither have i!
(instrumental)
...isnt that a good one?
Yes, can I see you later, you bet!
Excuse me, I have to go back to the bandstand now
Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All to myself alone
A twist in the rudder
And a rip in the sails
Driftin and dreamin
Honey throw the compass over the rail
Out on the ocean
Far from all the commotion
Melting your heart of stone
Honey Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All by myself alone
(I have to go now)
(wait! dont leave!)
Honey Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All to myself alone
-- spoken:
You know our last set is at two
I get off after that
What you doin?
Would you like to take a stroll around the upper deck?
See you then
Maybe, oo-hoo

Lets Wait Awhile
Theres something I want to tell you
Theres something I think that you should know
Its not that I shouldnt really love you
Lets take it slow
When we get to know each other
And were both feeling much stronger
Then lets try to talk it over
Lets wait awhile longer
Lets wait awhile before its too late
Lets wait awhile before we go too far
Remember that special night
When all of the stars where shining bright
We made our first endeavor
To stay together
Remember our very first promise
To love, to share, and be real honest
But on that very first night
It wasnt quite right
Lets wait awhile before its too late
Lets wait awhile, our love will be there
Lets wait awhile before we go too far
I didnt really know not to let all my feelings show
To save some for later so our love can be greater
You said you would always love me
Remember I said the same thing too
You dont have to be frightened with my love
Because Ill never give up on you
Lets wait awhile, awhile before its too late
You know you cant rush love
Lets just take our time
With love so good, we shouldnt rush it
We need to slow it down

Slow Love
Young is the night
It feels so right
Now that ure mine
Lets take our time
The man in the moon is smiling
4 he knows what Im dreaming of
Tonight is the night 4 making slow love
The gentle breeze
It blows with ease
Lets make it slow
Just like the wind blows
Lets make it last forever
For a hundred times wont be enough
Tonight is the night 4 making slow love
Slow love
So much better when we take it easy
Slow love
So much better when we take our time
Loves in your eyes (in your eyes)
Eyes never lie
Dont rush the feelin
Youve got me reelin
U can see through race car drivers
Let me show u what Im made of
Tonight is the night 4 making slow love
[repeated to fade]
Slow love
So much better when we take it easy
Slow love
So much better when we take our time

Slow Dancing
Written by lindsey buckingham
The nighttime filled with the cold winter chill
The rain is music on my window sill
The days are short, the nights are long
Wont someone show me where I belong?
I turn around when you walk by
Youre just the kind of thing to catch my eye
I come up fast, I go down slow
So tell me darlin? do you want to go
(lets go)
Slow dancing in the moonlight
(lets go)
Want to slow dance with you all night
The nighttime filled with a cold winter chill
The rain is music on my window sill
I come up fast, I go down slow
So tell me darlin? do you want to go
(lets go)
Slow dancing in the moonlight
(lets go)
Want to slow dance with you all night.
The days are short, the nights are long
Will someone show me where I belong
I come up fast, I go down slow
So tell me darlin? do you want to go
(lets go)
Slow dancing in the moonlight
(lets go)
Want to slow dance with you all night.

China (Ronson Vocal)
China, China, the evening's moving in
See you, soon now, the boat moves with the wind
China, China, I can see the harbour lights
Light your, fire, we'll be warm tonight
China, China, the thoughts drift from the sea
I'm dreaming, of you, wear your dress for me
China, China, the oceans on the wheel(?)
The seagulls flying lower now
China I can feel you by my side
Across the bay, across the Tyne
Can you hear me say
China, China, wear your hair down low
Lady, Lady, you're frozen to the bone
China, China, the catch was good today
The oilskins clinging to my back
And the lantern gently sways
Oh don't you cry, the kids to bed
Didn't mean the things I said
China, China, the years go rolling by
Laughter, sorrow, I will not make you cry
China, China, think before you speak
Always remember the ocean hauls as deep
And if I'm tired of feeling low
Don't let me sleep, you know
China, China, the men are on the quay
Drinking, smoking, talking quietly
The water's calmer now
All my work is done
So China, see ya.

We Got All Night
You can take your time
Ill be takin mine
We dont have to hurry
Let the world go by
Tonight its you and i
Feelin others slowly
And though a simple touch
Can mean so much
Says all you need to know
We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So dont let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Lets make it last forever
Take it nice and slow
We got all night
Its so good to know
You dont have to go
Stay until tomorrow
Lying side by side
Feel the senses slide
Let your feelings follow
cause tonight is ours
And through the hours
Love goes on and on
We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So dont let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Lets make it last forever
Take it nice and slow
We got all night
Feels like we waited a lifetime
To be alone tonight
So make it hard to forget you
cause we dont know when
We can do it again
We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So dont let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Lets make it last forever
Take it nice and slow
All night
All night
We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So dont let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Lets make it last forever
Take it nice and slow
We got all night
We got from sundown to sunrise
So dont let go, just hold me baby
We got all night
Lets make it last forever
Take it nice and slow ...

Fragment Of A Sleep-Song
SISTER Simplicitie,
Sing, sing a song to me,
Sing me to sleep.
Some legend low and long,
Slow as the summer song
Of the dull Deep.
Some legend long and low,
Whose equal ebb and flow
To and fro creep
On the dim marge of gray
’Tween the soul’s night and day,
Washing “awake” away
Into “asleep.”
Some legend low and long,
Never so weak or strong
As to let go
While it can hold this heart
Withouten sigh or smart,
Or as to hold this heart
When it sighs “No.”
Some long low swaying song,
As the sway’d shadow long
Sways to and fro
Where, thro’ the crowing cocks,
And by the swinging clocks,
Some weary mother rocks
Some weary woe.
Sing up and down to me
Like a dream-boat at sea,
So, and still so,
Float through the “then” and “when,”
Rising from when to then,
Sinking from then to when
While the waves go.
Low and high, high and low,
Now and then, then and now,
Mow, now;
And when the now is then, and when the then is now,
And when the low is high, and when the high is low,
Low, low;
Let me float, let the boat
Go, go;
Let me glide, let me slide
Slow, slow;
Gliding boat, sliding boat,
Slow, slow;
Glide away, slide away
So, so.

Slow Ride
Its warm inside
Lets take a midnight drive
I wanna know ya...really know ya
Its an open road
Lets see how far it goes
I wanna show ya...baby let me show ya
High flyin low
Dont wanna go
On a slow ride
Its cold outside
But theres fire in your eyes
Let me hold you...i wanna hold you
Wont loose my nerve
On those dangerous curves
When we get rollin...really rollin.
Slide on in, dont keep me in suspense
Lets get movin...slow movin
We can make it last, aint no need to go too fast
When were groovin, soul groovin.

Let The Good Time Roll
Now heres an invitation
Its on page 33
Attractive and exciting female
Must be looking for someone like me
Looking through your magazine
Now heres a cryptic clue
Yes the river is swollen
This one could be, could be for you
Come on lover pickup the phone
02900 in the twilight zone
Oh she lets the good times roll
Come on baby now free my soul
Oh she lets the good times roll
Heat it up and just let me go
A knight in shining armor
Honest and sincere
Thats the way Ill word it now
Oh! plus a good career
Sticky situations
They will fade away
Place an ad in this column
And find a love you pray
Come on baby pick up the phone
Dial my number in the twilight zone
Oh she lets the good time roll
Take it real fast or you can take it slow
Oh she lets the good time roll
Just pump it up now let me go
[instrumental]
* oh she lets the good times roll
She takes it fast or you can take it slow
Oh she lets the good times roll
Now heat it up babe just dont let go

Let Yourself Go
(words & music by joy byers)
Well baby Im gonna teach you what loves all about tonight
Trust me honey everythings gonna be all right
You gotta do like I do there aint nothing to it
Listen to me baby anybody can do it
All you gotta do is just let yourself go
Now dont be afraid just relax and take it real slow
Cool it baby you aint got no place to go
Just put your arms around me real tight
Enjoy yourself baby dont fight
All you gotta do is just let yourself go
All you need is just a little rehearsal
The first thing that you know
Youll be ready for the grand finale
So come on baby lets go
Lets go, lets go lets go
Lets go
Take a real deep breath and put your warm red lips on mine
Just do like I tell you, everythings gonna be just fine
Kiss me nice and easy, take your time
Baby Im the only one here in line

Let yourself go right now yeh! let yourself go
Let yourself go right now yeh! let yourself go

Lets Bring It Back
(annie roboff/jeffrey steele)
Lotta people talkin bout
Givin up and walkin out
These days
Made up their minds dont want the hurt
Theyre resigned not to do the work
It takes
Well whatever happened to hangin on
And goin the extra mile
Whatever happened to believin
Lets bring it back
A true love that lasts
Lets take a chance
At spending a lifetime together
In a slow dance
In a deep trance
In a romance
Lets bring it back
Used to be a simple thing
All it took was a simple dream
And love
And when the ride got a little rough
Youd buckle down, stick it out
And rise above
Well, whatever happened to knowin
That we kept the promise made
Whatever happened to those days
Lets bring it back
A true love that lasts
Lets take a chance
At spending a lifetime together
In a slow dance
In a deep trance
In a romance
Lets bring it back
The kissin, the laughin, the passion
Lets bring it back
Thats what two hearts should have
In a slow dance
In a deep trance
In a romance
Lets bring it back
In a slow dance
All that romance
Lets bring it back

Slow Down
Written by dan peek, 1977
Found on harbor.
I hear you knockin but you cant come in
You wear your stockings like you think its a sin
Dont try to tell me you aint been where you been
cause I know that youve been messin round with him
So slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Come on down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Oh down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
I met you dancin at the high school gym
You rubbed against me my head started to spin
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
And then you told me that youd like to be friends
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
Take it!
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont try to tell me
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Youll never sell me
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)

You know before it gets too late

Lets Get Rocked
Do you wanna get rocked?
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Im your average ordinary everyday kid
Happy to do nothin, in fact thats what I did
I got a million ways to make my day
But daddy dont agree
Cause when I try to get away
He says he got plans for me
Get your butt right out of bed
Stop buggin me
Get up and move your sleepy head
Dont shake my tree
He said mow the lawn - who me?
Walk the dog - not my style, man
Take out the trash - no way
Tidy your room - cmon get real
Sorry dad, gotta disappear
Lets get the rock out of here
Seven day weekend, up all night
In at the deep end, hang on tight
It wont take a minute, it wont take long
So get on in it, come on, come on, come on
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Lets go all the way
Get it nightnday
Come on, lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Im your average ordinary everyday dude
Drivin with my baby to get her in the mood
Shes dialin through my radio
And Im ready to make my move
But what she got aint rocknroll
And it really blew my groove
It was chopin, mozart, beethoven
It makes me wanna scream
Bach, tschaikovsky, violins
Turn it off, that aint my scene
Well Im sorry girl heres my confession
I suppose a rocks out of the question
Seven day weekend, up all night
In at the deep end, hang on tight
It wont take a minute, it wont take long
So get on in it, come on, come on, come on
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Lets go all the way
Get it nightnday
Come on, lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
All I wanna do is take a ride into the blue
Every time I want to love you
I get stuck inside my room
Heaven knows Im sick n tired of dancin with this broom
I feel lucky today
Hey look at that, man
Do you wanna get rocked?
Do you wanna get rocked?
It wont take you a minute
It wont take that long
So get on, get with it
Oh, come on everybody
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Get on top baby
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Do you wanna, do you wanna?
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Get on top of it
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Love to rock your body baby
Lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked
Lets go all the way
Lets do it nightnday
Lets get out and play
Rock the night away
Come on, lets get, lets get, lets get, lets get rocked

A Flow of Love
Yeah!
Slow and Slow
ye stare
with eyes-
eyes innocent
as doe
Slow and Slow
you emptied
my cup
A cup
of woe
Slow and Slow
ye vanquished
my foes
hidden
inner foes
Slow and Slow
Ye pour
A wine of joy
in a goblet
with glow
Slow and Slow
Ye stamp
my cells
from
head to toe
Slow and slow
Ye weed out
ignorance
with your
divine hoe
Slow and slow
Ye open
petals
of my mind
for glorious show
Slow and slow
you rescued
me from claws
A dangerous
Maya's claws
Slow and slow
you weeded
out my flaws
habitual
mortal flaws
Slow and slow
Ye brought me
under yoke
A yoke
of divine law
Slow and slow
please come
in my life
with your
majestic flow
Because
Our separation
waiting on death row
our rendezvous
hot desert in a
storm of snow

Last Mango In Paris
Last mango in paris
By: jimmy buffett, marshall chapman, will jennings, michael utley
1985
"for all the living legends i've had the pleasure to know. there's
Still so much to be done."
I went down to captain tony's
To get out of the heat
Then i heard a voice call out to me
"son come have a seat"
I had to search my memory
As i looked into those eyes
Our lives change like the weather
But a legend never dies
Chorus:
He said i ate the last mango in paris
Took the last plane out of saigon
Took the first fast boat to china
And jimmy there's still so much to be done
I had a third world girl in buzios
With a pistol in each hand
She always kept me covered
As we moved from land to land
I had a damn good run on wall street
With my high fashion model wife
I woke up dry beneath the african sky
Just me and my swiss army knife
Chorus:
I ate the last mango in paris
Took the last plane out of saigon
Took the first fast boat to china
And jimmy there's still so much to be done
We shot the breeze for hours
As the sun fell from the sky
And like the sun he disappeared
Before my very eyes
It was somewhere past dark-thirty
And i went back to the head
I read upon the dingy wall
The words the old man said:
I ate the last mango in paris
Took the last plane out of saigon
Took the first fast boat to china
And jimmy there's still so much to be done
I ate the last mango in paris
Took the last plane out of saigon
Took the first fast boat to china
And jimmy there's still so much to be done
That's why we wander and follow la vie dansante

Dont rush baby
The lovin aint goin nowhere
Slow down
Dont rush baby
The lovin aint goin nowhere
Slow down
When we make love
Baby all we got to do is take our time
And get it, get it right in the groove
Now theres no need for us to be
In a rush so slow it down
Slow it down and get it right
Now baby its understood
When the lovin is feeling good
So lets just take our time and make it last
Now Ive got a feelin baby
That tonight could be the night
Dont rush it
Dont fight it
If you got a notion
Baby please let it be slow motion
Slow it down, baby
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Now baby its understood
When the lovin is feelin good
So lets just take our time and make it last

China, china, on the sea shore
China, china, on the dance floor
China, china, I must have seen your face before
Ive been to cairo and Ive been to khartoum
Ive seen them places from my rented room
Ive been to paris and Ive been to marseille
But that was nothing till I got to cathay
Ive been to new york and Ive been to l.a.
Ive been to delhi and Ive been to bombay
Ive been to venice and Ive been to rome
But now its peking that I think of as home
China, china, on the sea shore

China, china, theres no finer place on earth
