[Bette:] "Hey, nice piano playin', Manilla."
3
[Barry:] "Thank you, Miss M."
4
[Bette:] "Whatcha doin' these days?"
5
[Barry:] "Makin' records."
6
[Bette:] "Really?"
7
[Barry:] "Yes, really."
8
[Bette:] "Do you still play piano for people?"
9
[Barry:] "Well, depends on who."
10
[Bette:] Hmmm, I'm gonna get you
11
on a slow boat to China,
12
all to myself alone;
13
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore;
14
Leave all the others
15
waitin' on a faraway shore.
16
[Bette & Barry:] Out on the briny
17
where the moon's big and shiny,
18
melting your heart of stone.
19
I'm gonna get you
20
on a slow boat to China,
21
all to myself alone.
22
[Barry:] "Bette, I didn't know you felt that way about me."
23
[Bette:] "I don't. I need a piano player."
24
[Barry:] "Ahh, just like the old days!"
25
[Bette:] "You're not gonna change keys on me, are ya?"
26
[Barry:] "Unh Huh."
27
[Bette:] "Ohhh!"
28
[Bette:] I'm gonna get you
29
[Barry:] You're never gonna get me.
30
[Bette:] on a slow boat to China
31
[Barry:] Not in a fast or slow boat to any crick.
32
[Bette:] all to myself alone;
33
[Barry:] I just get motion sick
34
[Bette:] I'm gonna make you mine.
35
[Barry:] Ha, you'll have to stand in line.
36
[Bette:] Get you and keep you in my band evermore;
37
[Barry:] Now there's a new attack.
38
[Bette:] Leave all the others on the shore.
39
[Barry:] For me they'd swim to China, to China and back.
40
[Bette:] Out on the briny
41
[Barry:] I wouldn't like the ocean,
42
[Bette:] where the moon's big and shiny,
43
[Barry:] not even in a rowboat.
44
[Bette:] melting your heart of stone.
45
Come on, what do you say?
46
[Barry:] Ha ha, you always get your way.
47
[Bette & Barry:] I'm gonna get you
48
on a slow boat to China,
49
all to myself alone, to-ge-ther.
50
All to myself alone.
