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.
