It happened 33 years ago today Viewed by many as the greatest boxing 'moment' of all time.....

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

Came a man called Elijan - In Zaire, in Zaire
With him came the superstar - In Zaire, in Zaire
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! - -igh-igh-ight!

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!

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