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

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
