Billy Joel - Zanzibar lyrics

[Billy Joel - Zanzibar lyrics]

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, woah

Me, I'm just another face at Zanzibar
But the waitress always serves
A secret smile, woah
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, woah

Me, I'm trying just to get to second base
And I'd steal it if she only gave the sign
Woah 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
Woah 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
