Zanzibar

Lyrics

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, whoa
 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
 And I've got a jazz guitar
 I've got a tab at Zanzibar
 Tonight that's where I'll be, I'll be
