Arabian Nights

Salam and good evening to you, worthy friends

Welcome to the fabled city of Agrabah

City of flying carpets, soaring heroes

Famous love ballets and more glitz and glamour

Than any other fictional city in the world

Oh, I come from a land, from a faraway place

Where the caravan camels roam

Where it's flat and immense

And the heat is intense

It's barbaric, but hey, it's home

When the wind's from the east

And the sun's from the west

And the sand in the glass is right

Come on down, stop on by

Hop a carpet and fly

To another Arabian night

And of course, you know what Agrabah's famous for?

This magical lamp

Don't be fooled by its commonplace appearance

Like so many things, it is not what's on the outside

But what's on the inside that counts

Wow, got a little deep there down for a second, heh?

This lamp put Agrabah on the map

You've never been?

Well, we can fix that

Follow me to a place

Where incredible feats

Are routine every hour or so

Where enchantment runs rampant

It's wild in the streets

Open Sesame, here we go

See the dervishes dance

In ridiculous pants

Then romance to your heart's delight

Come on down

Come on, in

Let the magic begin

It's another Arabian night

Arabian nights

Like Arabian days

More often than naught

Are hotter than hot

In a lot of good ways

Arabian nights

'Neath Arabian moons

A fool off his guard

Could fall and fall hard

Out there on the dunes

In that magical place

In that mystical land

There's a genie inside every door

He'll do all of your bidding

Your wish, his command

It's demeaning, but hey! there you are

Unbelievable, yes

An unethical mess

Nonetheless, no one's very contrived

Do come here anew

Come to a land where any mountain can move

A land of high and treat with tricky logistics

Like prophets and mystics

And I've got statistics to prove

Arabian nights

Yes!

♪

Agrabah!

Come for the hummus

Stay for the fore-show

Even the poor people look fabulous

And everyone here has a minor in dance

And now, for the softer side of Agrabah

♪

Arabian nights!

Arabian nights!

And of course, you must watch your step here in Agrabah

For danger lurks around every corner

And ugly bad guys too

Arabian nights!

It's a city where a pitiless nobody

Can turn out to be

A noble somebody

Arabian nights!

It's a place were a princess

Would give up her crown for true love

But her father, the Sultan, is a stickler

For the ancient ways

And our hero's pals are as thick as thieves

Adorable... but thieves

Oh, and did I mention?

Everybody sings!

Arabian nights

Like Arabian days

More often than naught

In a lot of good ways

A fool off his guard
