Ali dances and the audience applauds
Though he's beaded in sweat he hasn't lost his style
Ali don't you go downtown

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

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
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
