Zanzibar Songtext
von Gordon Haskell

I want a chauffeur driven, black window limousine
The money′s in the soul food jar
If you can't oblige me I′ll settle for a bicycle
I've gotta get to Zanzibar
Well, all I can suggest for you, dear sir
Is to ride upon a cabbage leaf
The caterpillar couldn't hide the mountain of leaves
From here to the coral reef
Oh, yes, from here to the coral reef
Thank you very much, I′d rather try some other place
With a little more quality
It′s very, very obvious because of my appearance
You're trying to make a fool of me
Well, all I can suggest for you, dear sir
Is to ride upon a cabbage leaf
The caterpillar couldn′t hide the mountain of leaves
From here to the coral reef
Oh, yes, from here to the coral reef Well, I never did did this affair my Uncle Sid
Only started with a donkey cart
Now he's selling camel trains and elephants and aeroplanes
And no one goes to Zanzibar
Well, all I can suggest for you, dear sir
Is to ride upon a cabbage leaf
The caterpillar couldn′t hide the mountain of leaves
From here to the coral reef
Oh, from here to the coral reef
I want a chauffeur driven, black window limousine
The money's in the soul food jar
If you can′t oblige me I'll settle for a bicycle
I've gotta get to Zanzibar
I want a chauffeur driven, black window limousine
The money′s in the soul food jar
If you can′t oblige me I'll settle for a bicycle
I′ve gotta get to Zanzibar
