Arabian Nights

Salaam and good evening to you, worthy friends

Welcome to the fabled city of Agrabah

City of flying carpets, soaring heroes, famous love ballads

And more glitz and glamor 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

Whoa, got a little deep there for a second

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 not

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 contrite

You come here and you've

Come to a land where any mountain can move

A land of high intrigue with tricky logistics

Like prophets and mystics

And I've got statistics to prove

Arabian nights, yes

Arabian nights

Agrabah

Come for the hummus, stay for the floor 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 where 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 not

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

Arabian nights

Arabian nights

Arabian nights

Arabian nights
