Harry Macdonough
"In Zanzibar"
Edison cylinder
Song by Will D. Cobb and Gus Edwards
In Zanzibar, great land of glory,
a monkey czar (so runs the story)
came from afar with love o'er laden
to win and woo a monkey maiden--
with twang Darwinian sang this opinion:
My little chimpanzee, you're all this world to me.
A branch I'll find for thee in my own family tree.
No monkey shine for me.
A wedding fine there'll be in
high society in Zanzibar.
In Zanzibar's great cocoanut castle
Hail to the Czar each monkey vassal
Great King Gazoo my great ancestor
Sang to his bride as he caressed her
with chin bone chattering
His Panzie flattering.
