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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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!
ย
Arabian nights
ย
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
ย
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
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!
Arabian nights!
