Aladdin lyrics

Arabian Nights
Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home
When the winds from the east
And the suns 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
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

Legend Of The Lamp
Ah, salaam and good evening to you, worthy friend. Please, please, come closer. Ah, too close, a little too close. There. Welcome to Agrabah, city of mystery, of enchantment. And the finest merchandise this side of the River Jordan, on sale today. Come on down. Look at this, yes, combination hookah and coffeemaker, also makes Julienne fries. It will not break, it will not- it broke. Ohh, look at this, I have never seen one of these intact before. This is the famous dead sea Tupperware. Listen, ah, still good. Wait, don't go! I can see that you're only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think, then, you would be most rewarded to consider this. Do not be fooled by its commonplace apperance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man who like this lamp was more than what he seemed: a diamond in the rough.

One Jump Ahead
Aladdin:
Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
And that's everything
One jump ahead of the lawman
That's all and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

Women:
Who?
Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit the bottom
He's become a one man rise in crime

Aladdin:
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time
One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gotta use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitman
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block

Aladdin:
Here it goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landing, all I gotta do is jump

One Jump Ahead (Reprise)
Riffraff, street rat, I don't buy that
If only they'd look closer
Would they see a poor boy? No siree
They'd find out there's so much more to me

Friend Like Me
Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scherezadi had a thousand tales
Master, you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails
You've got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You've got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how?
See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp and I'll say
Mister Aladdin, sir, what will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order, jot it down
You ain't never had a friend like me
Life is your restaurant and I'm your maitre d'
Come on, whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me
Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service
You're the boss, the king, the sha
Say what you wish, it's yours, true dish
How 'bout a little more baklava?
Have some of column A, try all of column B
I'm in the mood to help you, dude
You ain't never had a friend like me
Can your friends do this? Can your friends do that?
Can your friends pull this out their little hat?
Can your friends go poof? Well looky here
Can your friends go, "Abracadabra," let 'er rip
And then make the sucker disappear
Don't you sit there slack-jaw buggy-eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You've got me bonafide, certified
You've got a genie for your charge d'affaires
I've got a powerful urge to help you out
So what you wish I really wanna know
You've got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is rub like so and ho
Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never... had a... friend... like... me
You ain't never had a friend like me!

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
And 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

Genie:
Fabulous, Gerry, I love the feathers
When it comes to exotic-type mammals
Has he got a zoo, I'm telling you

Genie:	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?	Everything about the man just plain
Weak at the knee	Impresses
Well get on out in the square	He's a winner, he's a whiz, 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

People:
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
The bow to his whim, love serving him
They're just lousy with loyalty
To Ali, Prince Ali

Genie:
Heard your princess was a sight
Lovely to see
And that, good people, is why
He got dolled up and dropped by

People:
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

A Whole New World
Aladdin:
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, Princess
Now when did you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways
And under on a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

Jasmine:
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here it's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you

Jasmine:
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world

Jasmine:
I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

Both:
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

Prince Ali (Reprise)
Prince Ali, yes, it is he, but not as you know him
Read my lips and come to grips with reality
Yes, meet a blast from your past
Whose lies were too good to last
Say hello to your precious Prince Ali
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
Is the ends of the earth, so long ex-Prince Ali

A Whole New World (Aladdin's Theme)
Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, Princess
Now when did you last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways
And under on a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But now from way up here it's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath, it gets better
I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Anywhere, there's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you, you

A whole new world
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
Where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me
