Lyrics

(Feat. barry manilow)

Bette: "hey, nice piano playin', manilla."
Barry: "thank you, miss m."
Bette: "whatcha doin' these days?"
Barry: "makin' records."
Bette: "really?"
Barry: "yes, really."
Bette: "do you still play piano for people?"
Barry: "well, depends on who."

Bette: hmmm, 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

[Bette & barry:] out on the briny
Where the moon's big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
I'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to china
All to myself alone

Barry: "bette, I didn't know you felt that way about me."
Bette: "i don't. I need a piano player."
Barry: "ahh, just like the old days!"
Bette: "you're not gonna change keys on me, are ya?"
Barry: "unh huh."
Bette: "ohhh!"

Bette: I'm gonna get you
Barry: you're never gonna get me
Bette: on a slow boat to china
Barry: not in a fast or slow boat to any crick
Bette: all to myself alone;
Barry: I just get motion sick
Bette: I'm gonna make you mine
Barry: ha, you'll have to stand in line
Bette: get you and keep you in my band evermore;
Barry: now there's a new attack
Bette: leave all the others on the shore
Barry: for me they'd swim to china, to china and back

Bette: out on the briny
Barry: I wouldn't like the ocean
Bette: where the moon's big and shiny
Barry: not even in a rowboat
Bette: melting your heart of stone
Come on, what do you say?
Barry: ha ha, you always get your way
[Bette & barry:] I'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to china
All to myself alone, to-ge-ther
All to myself alone
