Make way for Prince Ali!
Say hey, it's Prince Ali, 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
(Clear the way, clear the way, clear the way)
Make way, here he comes, ring bells, bang the drums
Are you gonna love this guy?
Prince Ali, fabulous he, Ali Ababwa (Ali Ababwa)
Genuflect, show some respect, down on one knee (Get down on one knee)
Now try your best to stay calm
Brush up your Sunday salaam
Then come and meet his spectacular coterie (His coterie)
Prince Ali, mighty is he, Ali Ababwa (He's a bright new star)
Strong as ten regular men, definitely (So, so quite definitely)
He faced the galloping hordes (Poor herring)
A hundred bad guys with swords (So scary)
You know who sent those goons to their lords? (Our Prince Ali)
And I have heard that he
He has seventy-five golden camels
Purple peacocks, he has fifty-three (He has fifty-three)
When it comes to exotic-type mammals (Mammals)
Boys, has he got a zoo, I'm telling you, it's a world-class menagerie
Prince Ali, handsome is he, Ali Ababwa
There's no question, this Ali's a hero)
Never ordinary, never boring
That physique, how can I speak? We can then flee (Everything
About the man just plain impresses, he plain impresses)
Well, get on out, let's square (He's a winner, he's a whiz, a one)
Adjust your veil and prepare (He's about to win my heart)
Prepare to gawk and gawp and stare (And perhaps
Have a little laugh at the way he dresses)
Prince Ali, he has ninety-five white Persian monkeys
He's got the monkeys, got the monkeys, let's see the monkeys)
And to view them, he charges no fees (He's generous, oh so generous)
So generous, slaves, he has servants and flunkies
They're all so proud to work for him
Bow to his whim, love serving him
They're just lousy with loyalty to Ali
Prince Ali
Prince Ali, amorous he, Ali Ababwa
You know he heard your princess was a
Sight lovely to see (She's so lovely)
And that, good people, is why (And that is why)
He got dolled up and dropped by (As he dropped by)
With sixty elephants, llamas galore
With his bears and lions, a brass band and more
With his forty fakirs, his cooks and
Bakers, his birds that warble on key
Make way for Prince Ali
Make way for him, praise the day, and get ready for Prince Ali
