Written for the character Homolka, as played by Tim Curry in the film.
City of Zinj, city of Zinj.
Wealth without limit! And I will posses it!
This monkey has seen,
this Ape knows the way.
This man with the glove gave it the means to say.
The eye who is watching, the eye who sees all.
My plan is unfolding, for I too hear the call.
Of madness in jungles, of legends and tales,
The treasure is waiting, my plans MUST prevail!
I’ll join in their party, advise as I can.
Wearing the disguise of a philanthropist man.
All those who had mocked me,
And all disbelief.
Paying bribes to that warlord, a secondrate thief!
But this talking monkey, this primate, this ape.
My ticket to riches, it can only be fate,
that this Company scion, his fiancé as well,
and the monkey researcher are all drawn to this hell.
This terror, this darkness, to sanity’s fringe!
Where my destiny leads,
all of my dreams hinge.
On finding my fortune, In the City of Zinj.
