Ali dances and the audience applaudsThough he's beathed in sweat he hasn't lost his styleAli don't you go downtownYo u gave away another round for freeMeI'm just another face at ZanzibarBut the waitress always serves a secret smileShe's wa iting out in ShantytownShe's gonna pull the curtains down for mefor meCHORUSI've got the old man's carI've got a jazz gu itarI've got a tab at ZanzibarTonight that's where I'll beRosehe 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 seeMeI'm trying just to get to second ba seAnd I'd steal it if she only gave the signShe's gonna give the go aheadThe inning isn't over yet for meCHORUSTell the waitress I'll come back to ZanzibarI'll be hiding inthe darkness with my beer.She's waiting out in ShantytownShe's gonna pul l the curtaains down for mefor meCHORUS
