Zanzibar
Ali dances and the audience applaudsThough he's bathed in sweat he hasn't lost his styleAli don't you go downtownYou gave away another round for free
Me, I'm just another face at ZanzibarBut the waitress always serves a secret smileShe's waiting out in ShantytownShe's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me
I've got the old man's carI've got a jazz guitarI've got a tab at ZanzibarTonight that's where I'll be
Rose, he knows he's such a credit to the gameBut the Yankees grab the headlines every timeMelodrama's so much funIn black and white for everyone to see
Me, I'm trying just to get to second baseAnd I'd steal it if she only gave the signShe's gonna give the go aheadThe inning isn't over yet for me
I've got the old man's carI've got a jazz guitarI've got a tab at ZanzibarTonight that's where I'll be
[Interlude]
Tell the waitress I'll come back to ZanzibarI'll be hiding in the darkness with my beerShe's waiting out in ShantytownShe's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me
I've got the old man's carAnd I've got a jazz guitarI've got a tab at ZanzibarTonight that's where I'll be
