Ali dances and the audience applauds
Though he`s beathed 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
She`s waiting out in Shantytown
She`s gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me
CHORUS
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
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
Me, I`m trying just to get to second base
And I`d steal it if she only gave the sign
She`s gonna give the go ahead
The inning isn`t over yet for me
CHORUS
Tell the waitress I`ll come back to Zanzibar
I`ll be hiding inthe darkness with my beer.
She`s waiting out in Shantytown
She`s gonna pull the curtaains down for me, for me
CHORUS
