Round and round the world I go
Like a man possessedSystematically searching for
A certain girl in a little white dressBulllet trains, boats and planes
Places she might beJust one or two remain
Alphabetically, geographicallyEliminate the possibilitiesZanzibar
People say I go too farChances are they're right
But I don't want to talk about itEverywhere I looked before she wasn't there
And here we are on the road to Zanzibar
This exotic life I lead
As strange as it may seemTo chase a girl around the world
That might be real or maybe a dreamTropic isles, bonus miles once I flew for freeSometimes it takes a whileAlphabetically, geographicallyEliminate the possibilitiesZanzibar

And here we are on the road to ZanzibarNot Argentina not Imponema
Not Madagascar so not Alaska
Not Minnesota not North Dakota

Not Beijing not Palm Springs

Not Singapore and not Bora BoraHey girl I think you're in

But I don't want to talk about itEverywhere I looked before
