All those people came from far (In 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!

All 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 - (Whe-e-ere - in Zaire!)

First in the ring and then after the fight! (-igh-igh-ight!)
In Zaire, in Zaire - in Zaire, in Zaire - .....
