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

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 in the darkness with my beer.
She´s waiting out in shantytown
She´s gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me

Chorus
