Lyrics
Well, didn't I say?
Yes, and didn't I say?
Didn't who say?
Didn't we say?
Didn't you say you were off to China?
Said that
Fancy meeting you here
And didn't you just board an ocean liner?
Fancy meeting you here
Didn't we agree that our affair was too frantic?
And we both feel good divided by the wide Atlantic
Say, tell me
Mm-hmm
How did you shake that wealthy Persian?
I told him to wait on the carpet
Fancy meeting you here
Did you take that African excursion?
I carried Hemmingway's scrapbook- For the locals to hear
If you don't think it's a kick to see ya, let's get this clear, dear
From the way my heart is wildly beating-
What we had is more than worth repeating
And I still say fancy meeting you right here
I'd like to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Catch you and keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all your lovers waiting on the faraway shore
Whee
Out on the bright one, the moon's big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Here's a kind of tantalizing ditty
Tune is catchy and the words are witty
Could be it's a country over city
Is it Tokyo?
No, no
You gotta work south a little bit
Is it Kokomo?
Just swing an east hair
Here's a clue, the setting's oriental
Has a native beat that's oriental
Came way before the continental
Is it Mexico?
Nunca, nunca
Is it Borneo?
You're getting warmer, my friend
Do stand where we stopped to rest our tired caravan
Here do stand
Where the painted peacock proudly spread his hand
Here do stand
Where the purple sunbird flashed across the sand
Here do stand
Meet you there
Meet you where?
Meet you there, where the world began
