Zanzibar ( /ˈzænzɨbɑr/; from Arabic: زنجبار Zanjibār, from Persian: زنگبار Zangibār "Coast of Blacks"; zangi [black-skinned] + bār [coast]) is a semi-autonomous part of Tanzania, in East Africa. It comprises the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25–50 kilometres (16–31 mi) off the coast of the mainland, and consists of numerous small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main island, informally referred to as Zanzibar), and Pemba. Other nearby island countries and territories include Comoros and Mayotte to the south, Mauritius and Réunion to the far southeast, and the Seychelles Islands about 1,500 km to the east. Arab and Portuguese traders visited the region in early times, and it was controlled by Omanis in the 18th and 19th centuries. Britain established a protectorate (1890) that became an independent sultanate in December 1963 and a republic after an uprising in January 1964. In April 1964 it joined Tanganyika to form a new republic that was renamed Tanzania in October 1964. The capital of Zanzibar, located on the island of Unguja, is Zanzibar City, and its historic centre, known as Stone Town, is a World Heritage Site.

Harry Mork: Well that is the messiest pile of trays I have ever seen in a hotel corridor.
Evie Jackson: I'm a postmaster. I suppose I should say "postmistress" but that sounds a bit racy to me.
Harry Mork: You know I like the get well designs, and the birthday, but what's this anniversary here? You've drawn the wife with half a head.::Mitchell: That's the way I see wives.
Evie Jackson: They're after me, you know.::Harry Mork: [laughs] What for?::Evie Jackson: Oh, a fourth at bridge, getting tables in restaurants. There comes a time when women band together. Sometimes they don't even call each other by their first names. Because they're not even friends.

Ali dances and the audience applauds
Though he's beathed in sweat he hasn't lost his style
Ali don't you go downtown
You gave away another round for free
I'm just another face at Zanzibar
But the waitress always serves a secret smile
She's waiting out in Shantytown
She's gonna pull the curtains down for me
for me
CHORUS
I've got the old man's car
I've got a jazz guitar
I've got a tab at Zanzibar
Tonight that's where I'll be
Rose
he knows he's such a credit to the game
But the Yankees grab the headlines every time
Melodrama's so much fun
In black and white for everyone to see
I'm trying just to get to second base
And I'd steal it if she only gave the sign
She's gonna give the go ahead
The inning isn't over yet for me
CHORUS
Tell the waitress I'll come back to Zanzibar
I'll be hiding inthe darkness with my beer.
She's waiting out in Shantytown
She's gonna pull the curtaains down for me
for me
Autumn is warm
These are my golden years
Roll on a casino of shadows at the Ocean del Sol
Fortune is long
But these are the older years
When the waterfall spider sparkles and turns like a
clock in the dark
Far from the spring
Sit in a barber's chair
Still bringing glamour to towns where the hammer must
fall
Feminine man
Tall in the evening air
With the Zulu who walks with you always by your side
And the pain goes
And explain those
Spiders are building their webs across skulls' eyes in
the dark
Far from springtime
In a barber's chair
Time to pull on the face that you keep in a jar by the
door
Galloping ghosts
Take me to Zanzibar
Forward and forward the chargers they're charging in
dreams at least
Rallying round
The faces of every old ghost
In a postage stamp world we slipper away with a cradle
of cats
In a postage stamp world
There is nothing yet left to believe in
For a fox-hunting man who has sold all his clothes to
the slave trade
You are lovely in face
Love me in body and everything
You've got laughter and brains and I love you so much
in your hat
And the pain goes
Further and further and deeper and deeper inside
And the time goes so slow in the winter time rolling in
straw and hay
For a fox-hunting man
Who can stand in the fire and just fade away
You are lovely of face, you are lovely of body and soul
Galloping ghosts
Take me to Zanzibar
Forward and forward the chargers they're charging in
dreams at least
Rallying round
The faces of every old ghost
In a postage stamp world we slipper away with a cradle
Did we ever meet in Zanzibar?
Two Caucasians at the town bazaar
Are you who you say you are?
Did you offer me a dark cigar?
You must have thought you were so bourgeois
Are you who you say you are?
After all these years, you haven't changed at all
But I can't say you look the same
Summer days are hot in Zanzibar
In the night, the sky is filled with stars
Listen, you can hear your guitars
Native people, skins as black as tar
Wear bright colored robes in Zanzibar
They've never even heard of ska
On a guided tour of limestone caves
Did we see where the traders kept their slaves?
Was that how we spent the day?
After all these years, you haven't changed at all
But I, I can't say you look the same
I have never been to Zanzibar
I have always thought it was too far
You're not who you say you are
You're not who you say you are
The streets are paved with savage dust
They torture love come cum they must
Feel the night with the smell of lust
Intoxicates the air
Feel your flesh it makes me whole
It makes me cold your love I stole
The one you hold you'll never know
She sold her soul beware
There all out there now, I'll take you there
There out on the move, ga, ga, god knows where
The dirty girls all bent on pleasure
Extort the greedy sex offenders
Creature comforts never end her
Lust for life for love
The sinful ways of wickedness
Alluring power of decadence
Never lonely loneliness
The affair is never fair
The lights glow far from star to star in Zanzibar
The calling card, your love is hard in Zanzibar
One look one touch, a touch too much in Zanzibar
If you need a little rest
I advise you for the best
Take a plane and be my guest
Zanzibar, (Zanzibar), Zanzibar, (Zanzibar), is not far
We will be alone
There will be no telephone
I will make you feel at home
Zanzibar, (Zanzibar), Zanzibar, (Zanzibar), is not far
Hey come to Zanzibar
Lovely Zanzibar
If you know you will find
What you have in your mind
On Zanzibar
Tell on-one where you are
And it's not too far
I'll be waiting for you on Zanzibar
Zanzibar
On my island in the sun
People walk they do not run
But they have a lot of fun
Zanzibar, (Zanzibar), Zanzibar, (Zanzibar), is not far
Baby you will stay
Or come back some other day
You will love it anyway
Zanzibar, (Zanzibar), Zanzibar, (Zanzibar), is'not far
The story begins...
