"Zanzibar" lyrics
"Zanzibar"
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, whoa
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

Staring slowly 'cross the sky

Working on the dreams he planned to try

Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along
Who'd blame them?

Talking Heads - "Burning Down The House" Ah
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool, babies – strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight, wait 'til the party's over
Hold tight, we're in for...
