In Zaire Songtext
von Johnny Wakelin

Once there was a battle there (in Zaire, in Zaire)
A hundred thousand people there (in Zaire, in Zaire)
All those people gathered there (in Zaire, in Zaire)
To see the Rumble in the Jungle there
In Zaire

Came a man called Elijah (in Zaire, in Zaire)
With him came the superstar (in Zaire, in Zaire)
All those people came from far (in Zaire, in Zaire)
To see the Rumble in the Jungle there
In Zaire


And who was the victim in the night?
Elijah Muhammad′s boy Ali won the fight

All those people chanted there (in Zaire, in Zaire)
Seven rounds of torture there (in Zaire, in Zaire)
One more round and Ali's there (in Zaire, in Zaire)
There was great excitement everywhere
In Zaire

The lightning struck twice in the night
First in the ring and then after the fight


In Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire
In Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire
In Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire
In Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire
In Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire, in Zaire
