Zanzibar Songtext

von Mac McAnally

Round and round the world I go
Like a man possessed

Systematically searching for
A certain girl in a little white dress

Bulllet trains, boats and planes
Places she might be

Just one or two remain
Alphabetically, geographically

Eliminate the possibilities

Zanzibar
People say I go too far

Chances are they're right
But I don't want to talk about it

Everywhere I looked before she wasn't there
And here we are on the road to Zanzibar

This exotic life I lead
As strange as it may seem

To chase a girl around the world
That might be real or maybe a dream

Tropic isles, bonus miles once I flew for free

Sometimes it takes a while

Alphabetically, geographically

Eliminate the possibilities

Zanzibar
People say I go too far

Chances are/They're right
But I don't want to talk about it

Everywhere/ I looked before she wasn't there
And here we are on the road to Zanzibar

Not Argentina not Imponema
Not Madagascar so not Alaska
Not Minnesota not North Dakota
I've been there before

Not Beijing not Palm Springs
Madre Sierra French Riviera
Not Singapore and not Bora Bora

Hey girl I think you're in
Zanzibar
People say I go too far

Chances are they're right
But I don't want to talk about it

Everywhere I looked before
She wasn't there
And here we are on the road to Zanzibar

Here we are on the road to Zanzibar
