Zanzibar - Billy Joel

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, whoa

She’s waiting out in Shantytown

She’s gonna pull the curtains down

For me, for me

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, 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, whoa

Me, I’m trying just to get to second base

And I’d steal it if she

Only gave the sign, whoa

She’s gonna give the go ahead

The inning isn’t over yet

For me, for me

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, I’ll be

Tell the waitress I’ll come back to Zanzibar

I’ll be hiding in the darkness

With my beer, whoa

She’s waiting out in Shantytown

She’s gonna pull the curtains down

For me, for me

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, I’ll be
