Prince Ali Lyrics

[ENSEMBLE]
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!
Oh, you're 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

(spoken)
He faced the galloping hordes!

(sung)
A hundred bad guys with swords
Who sent those goons to their lords?

[GENIE AND ENSEMBLE]
Why, Prince Ali!

[MEN]
He's got seventy-five golden camels

[GENIE, spoken]
Don't they look lovely, June?

[WOMEN]
Purple peacocks, he's got fifty-three

[GENIE, spoken]
Fabulous Harry, I love the feathers

(sung)
When it comes to exotic-type mammals
Has he got a zoo? I'm telling you

[GENIE AND ENSEMBLE]
It's a world-class menagerie

[GENIE, HAREM GIRLS]
Prince Ali, handsome is he (There's no question, this Ali's alluring)
Ali Ababwa (Never ordinary, never boring)
That physique! How can I speak?
Weak at the knee (Everything about the man just plain impresses)
Well, get on out in that square (He's a winner, he's a wiz, a wonder)
Adjust your veil and prepare (He's about to pull my heart asunder)
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali (And I absolutely love the way he dresses)

[ENSEMBLE]
He's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys
(He's got the monkeys, let's see the monkeys)
And to view them, he charges no fee
(He's generous, so generous)
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

[GENIE AND ENSEMBLE]
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

[ENSEMBLE]
With sixty elephants, llamas galore
With his bears and lions, a brass band and more
With his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers
His birds that warble on key
Make way for Prince Ali!
