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
