In Zaire
Once there was a battle there
in Zaire in Zaire
Hundred thousand people there
in Zaire in Zaire
AII those 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
AII those people came from far
in Zaire in Zaire
To see the rumble in the jungle there in Zaire
in Zaire.
AII 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 in Zaire.
And who was the victor in the night? Elijah Mohammed's boy
Ali won the fight
the lightning struck twice in the night
First in the ring and then after the fight in Zaire
in Zaire.
