Johnny Wakelin Lyrics
"İn Zaire"

Once there was a battle there (İn Zaire, in Zaire)
Hundred thousand people there (İn Zaire, in Zaire)
All those people gathered there (İn Zaire, in Zaire)
To see the rumble in the jungle there - (The-e-ere - in Zaire!)

Came a man called Elijan (İn Zaire, in Zaire)
With him came the superstar (İn Zaire, in Zaire)
All those people came from far (İn Zaire, in Zaire)
To see the rumble in the jungle there - (The-e-ere - in Zaire!)

And who was the victor in the night?
Elijah Mohammed's boy Ali won the fight
(İgh-igh-ight!)

[İnstrumentâl Solo]

All those people chanted there (İn Zaire, in Zaire)
Seven rounds of torture there (İn Zaire, in Zaire)
One more round and Ali's there (İn Zaire, in Zaire)
There was great excitement everywhere (Whe-e-ere - in Zaire!)

The lightning struck twice in the night,
First in the ring and then after the fight!
(-igh-igh-ight!)

[İnstrumentâl Solo]
İn Zaire, in Zaire - in Zaire, in Zaire - .....
