In Zaire

Once there was a battle there A hundred thousand people there All those people gathered there To see the rumble in the jungle there In Zaire The champion and the challenger Came over from America All the people came from far To see the rumble in the jungle there In Zaire And who was the victor in the night? No finer Kentucky boy, Ali, won the fight In Zaire, in Zaire In Zaire, in Zaire In Zaire, in Zaire In Zaire, in Zaire And all the people chanted there Seven rounds of torture there One more round and Ali's there 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
