Take A Slow Boat To China

[Torm]

Okay. I've thoroughly searched the web, and I even called KTTS in Springfield, MO, which was the station I used to listen to back when it was still getting airplay. And, I've posted on lyrics message boards - no glory so far. Can anyone here tell me?:

"Contemporary" Country song, mid-80s. Sounded kinda like the Forrester Sisters, but I don't think it was actually them, or if so, I can't find the song by them at Amazon. All I can remember is the chorus: "You told me take a slow boat to China. Well I didn't think that nothing could be finer. I'd take a slow boat to anywhere away from you."

Help!

I got nothin. The closest thing I can think of is the Buffett song "Slow Boat to China" and that's clearly not what you're looking for.

I did a quick search and came up with this:

Artist: Girls Next Door
Song: Slow Boat To China
Album: Girls Next Door
Year: 1986

I'm not sure if this is right or not but heres the link i found the info from:

I thought "Take a slow boat to China" was a line in Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego.

Would it be allright if I took a cruiseliner?

As long as the boat has a sonic weapon I'll take it.

Does a Siren50KBFM count?

THAT'S IT!

A quick search where, may I ask? I'm no slouch with Google, and I also had about 10 other people looking on another message board!

Thanks!

Edit: Found it at Ebay. It is now on its way to me. Mwah ha ha ha ha! Thanks again.

Edit again: I just followed the link you posted. I PASSED that link about 20 times, because my search engine was grouping it with another similar one that had the request, but no answer. Ack!

I used google to find the page. I had to run different sections of the lyrics you posted until i got a relevant search result. Glad i could be of help!
