## Lyrics

### Full Version

**Chorus:** Make way for Prince Ali!

Say hey! It's Prince Ali!

**Genie:** Hey! Clear the way in the old Bazaar

Hey you! Let us through! It's a bright new star!

Oh come! Be the first on your block to meet his eye!

Make way! Here he comes!

Ring bells! Bang the drums!

Are you gonna love this guy?!

Prince Ali! Fabulous he!

Ali Ababwa

Genuflect, show some respect

Down on one knee!

Now, try your best to stay calm

Brush up your Sunday *salaam*

Then come and meet his spectacular coterie

Prince Ali! Mighty is he!

Ali Ababwa

Strong as ten regular men,

definitely!

He faced the galloping hordes

A hundred bad guys with swords

Who sent those goons to their lords?

Why, Prince Ali!

**Men:** He's got seventy-five golden camels (**Genie:** Don't they look lovely, June?)

**Women:** Purple peacocks, he's got fifty-three (**Genie:** Fabulous, Harry. I love the feathers.)

**Genie:** When it comes to exotic-type mammals

Has he got a zoo?

I'm telling you,

**Chorus, Harem Girls, Naji, Maji, Taji, Trinla, Ginza, Ninla, Lyra, Renny, Moli, Linda, Aline, Sapphire, Amira, Emerald, Marigold, Kinli, Binli, Minli, Emily, Fatima, Saadiya, Hakima, Bindhiya, Chetana, Darsha, Aafsha, Barika, Zarifa, Verissa, Nadine, Ally, Riviera, Daanaa, Aaima, Finly, Beckinshi:** It's a world-class menagerie

Ali Ababwa
That physique! How can I speak?
Weak at the knee!
Well, get on out in that square
Adjust your veil and prepare
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali!
Never ordinary, never boring
Everything about that man
Just plain impresses
He's a winner, he's a whiz, a wonder
He's about to pull my heart asunder
And I absolutely love the way he dresses!

**Chorus, Harem Girls, Naji, Maji, Taji, Trinla, Ginza, Ninla, Lyra, Renny, Moli, Linda, Aline, Sapphire, Amira, Emerald, Marigold, Kinli, Binli, Minli, Emily, Fatima, Saadiya, Hakima, Bindhiya, Chetana, Darsha, Aafsha, Barika, Zarifa, Verissa, Nadine, Ally, Riviera, Daanaa, Aaima, Finly, Beckinshi:** He's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys

**Guards:** He's got the monkeys,

let's see the monkeys

**Chorus, Harem Girls, Naji, Maji, Taji, Trinla, Ginza, Ninla, Lyra, Renny, Moli, Linda, Aline, Sapphire, Amira, Emerald, Marigold, Kinli, Binli, Minli, Emily, Fatima, Saadiya, Hakima, Bindhiya, Chetana, Darsha, Aafsha, Barika, Zarifa, Verissa, Nadine, Ally, Riviera, Daanaa, Aaima, Finly, Beckinshi:** And to view them he charges no fee

**Women:** He's generous, so generous

**Chorus, Harem Girls, Naji, Maji, Taji, Trinla, Ginza, Ninla, Lyra, Renny, Moli, Linda, Aline, Sapphire, Amira, Emerald, Marigold, Kinli, Binli, Minli, Emily, Fatima, Saadiya, Hakima, Bindhiya, Chetana, Darsha, Aafsha, Barika, Zarifa, Verissa, Nadine, Ally, Riviera, Daanaa, Aaima, Finly, Beckinshi:** He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies

Proud to work for him

They bow to his whim,

love serving him

They're just lousy with loyalty to Ali!

Prince Ali!

**All:** Prince Ali! Amorous he!

Ali Ababwa

**Genie:** Heard your princess was a sight lovely to see

And that, good people, is why,

he got dolled up and dropped by

**Chorus, Harem Girls, Naji, Maji, Taji, Trinla, Ginza, Ninla, Lyra, Renny, Moli, Linda, Aline, Sapphire, Amira, Emerald, Marigold, Kinli, Binli, Minli, Emily, Fatima, Saadiya, Hakima, Bindhiya, Chetana, Darsha, Aafsha, Barika, Zarifa, Verissa, Nadine, Ally, Riviera, Daanaa, Aaima, Finly, Beckinshi:** With sixty elephants, llamas galore

With his bears and lions

A brass band and more

With his forty fakirs,

his cooks and bakers

His birds that warble on key

Make way

For Prince Ali!

(*Spoken only in the film version*)

***Jafar:*** *Oh, princess, there's someone I'm dying to introduce you to.*

***Aladdin:*** *Jafar! Get your hands off her!*

**Jafar:** Prince Ali

Yes, it is he

But not as you know him!

Read my lips

And come to grips

With the reality

Yes, meet a blast from your past,

Whose lies were too good to last!

Say hello to your precious Prince Ali!

(*Spoken only in the film version*)

***Iago:*** *Or should we say "Aladdin"?*

***Jasmine:*** *Ali?*

***Aladdin:*** *Jasmine...*

***Jasmine:*** *What?*

***Aladdin:*** *I-I tried to tell you. I'm just a...*

**Jafar:** So Ali

Turns out to be

Merely Aladdin!

Just a con

Need I go on?

Take it from me

His personality flaws,

Give me adequate cause,

To send him packing on a one-way trip

So his prospects take a terminal dip!

His assets frozen!

The venue chosen!

It's the ends of the earth! Whoopee!

So long!

(*Spoken only in the film version*)

***Iago:*** *Good bye, see ya!*

**Jafar:** Ex-Prince, Ali!

(*Cackles wickedly*)
