In Zaire

[Spoken Rap:]
I started out on a trip
Wanna have some fun
With the members of the group
That's called round oneas we saw him standing on the bar
Introduced himself as elijah
He talked to our girl
And they left the place
And now she's gone
No time to waste!

Gonna tell you the story
That's why we're here
Talking about the fight
It was in zaire
(in zaire, in zaire)
Heh, heh, heh ha
In zaire
(in zaire, in zaire)
Get down, in history.

Once there was a battle there
(in zaire, in zaire)
Hundred thousand people there
(in zaire, in zaire)
All these people gathered there
(in zaire, in zaire)
To see the rumble in the jungle there
(in zaire, in zaire)

Came a man called elijan
(in zaire, in zaire)
With him came the superstar
(in zaire, in zaire)
All these people came from far
(in zaire, in zaire)
To see the rumble in the jungle
The--re in zaire.

And who was the victor in the night?
Elijah mohammed's boy
Ali won the fight.

(in zaire, in zaire)
(in zaire, in zaire)
(in zaire, in zaire)
(in zaire)

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 plain excitement everywhere
In zaire.

Then 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)

Once there was a battle there
(in zaire, in zaire)
Hundred thousand people there
(in zaire, in zaire)
All these people gathered there
(in zaire, in zaire)
To see the rumble in the jungle
The--re in zaire.

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

Oh in zaire...
