Zanzibar |
| Ali dances and the audience applauds |
| Though he’s bathed in sweat |
| He hasn’t lost his style |
| Ali, don’t you go downtown |
| You gave away another round |
| For free |
| Me, I’m just another face at Zanzibar |
| But the waitress always |
| Serves a secret smile, whoa |
| She’s waiting out in Shantytown |
| She’s gonna pull the curtains down |
| For me, for me |
| I’ve got the old man’s car |
| I’ve got a jazz guitar |
| I’ve got a tab at Zanzibar |
| Tonight, that’s where I’ll be, I’ll be |
| Rose, he knows he’s such |
| A credit to the game |
| But the Yankees grab |
| The headlines every time |
| Melodrama’s so much fun |
| In black and white |
| For everyone to see, whoa |
| Me, I’m trying just to get to second base |
| And I’d steal it if she |
| Only gave the sign, whoa |
| She’s gonna give the go ahead |
| The inning isn’t over yet |
| For me, for me |
| I’ve got the old man’s car |
| I’ve got a jazz guitar |
| I’ve got a tab at Zanzibar |
| Tonight, that’s where I’ll be, I’ll be |
| Tell the waitress I’ll come back to Zanzibar |
| I’ll be hiding in the darkness |
| With my beer, whoa |
| She’s waiting out in Shantytown |
| She’s gonna pull the curtains down |
| For me, for me |
| I’ve got the old man’s car |
| I’ve got a jazz guitar |
| I’ve got a tab at Zanzibar |
| Tonight, that’s where I’ll be, I’ll be |
