109. Zanzibar

---

Come hop on a barge
to Zanzibar
There’s a beautiful scene
in Zanzibar
The night is serene
at Zanzibar
With credit to charge
for Zanzibar

Zanzibar,
Oh! Zanzibar –
Your pockets be drained by Zanzibar.
You think you’ll withhold
That plastified gold
When wallet unfolds
In Zanzibar.

The spices are fresh
with Zanzibar
The merchant-tents stocked
near Zanzibar
Sandy beaches flocked
by Zanzibar
‘Neath a millionaire-mesh
and Zanzibar.

Zanzibar,
Oh! Zanzibar – 
Throw buck to the breeze of Zanzibar.
For rest you have found
Why not spend a pound
Of your savings sound
In Zanzibar?

Zanzibar,
Oh! Zanzibar –
We welcome you here at Zanzibar.
It’s dry and its hot
But others have thought
They liked life alot.
Thank Zanzibar!
