Ali dances
And the audience applauds
Though he's bathed in sweat
He hasn't lost his style
Ah ah ah
Ali don't you go downtown
You gave away another
Round for free
Whoah oh
Me I'm just another face
In Zanzibar
But the waitress
Always serves a secret smile
Ah ah ah
Well she's waiting out
In Shantytown
She's gonna pull
The curtains down for me
For me
Well I got the old man's car
And I got a jazz guitar
And I got a tab at Zanzibar
Tonight it'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
Whoah oh
Me I'm trying
Just to get to second base
And I'd steal it
If she only gave the sign
Well she's gonna give
The go ahead
The inning isn't
Over yet for me
For me
Well I got the old man's car
And I got a jazz guitar
And I got a tab at Zanzibar
Tonight it'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
Whoah oh
She's waiting out in Shantytown
She's gonna pull
The curtains down for me
For me
Well I got the old man's car
And I got a jazz guitar
And I got a tab at Zanzibar
Tonight it's where I'll be
I'll be
