Slow Boat To China Songtext / Lyric

Well, there's no verse to this song

'Cause I don't want to wait a moment too long

To say that I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China

All myself alone

To get you to keep you in my arms evermore

Leave all your lovers weeping on the far-away shore

Well out on the briny with a moon big and shiny

Melting your heart of stone

Well, I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China

All to myself alone

Well, I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China

All to myself alone

On a real slow boat

On a slow slow boat to China

On An Evening In Roma (Sott'er Celo De Roma)

Como e' bella ce' la luna brille e' strette

Strette como e' tutta bella a passeggiare

Sotto il cielo di Roma

Down each avenue or via, street or strata

You can see 'em disappearing two by two

On an evening in Roma

Do they take 'em for espresso?

Yeah, I guess so

On each lover's arm a girl I wish I knew

On an evening in Roma

Though there's grinning and mandolining in sunny Italy

The beginning has just begun when the sun goes down

So, please, meet me in the plaza near your casa

I am only one and that's one too few

On an evening in Roma

Don't know what the country's coming to

But in Rome do as the Romans do

Will you on an evening in Roma?

Como e' bella ce' la luna brille e' strette

Strette como e' tutta bella a passeggiare

Sotto il cielo di Roma

Don't know what the country's coming to

But in Rome do as the Romans do

Will you on an evening in Roma?

Sott'er celo de Roma

On an evening in Roma
