Lyrics

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
 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
 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 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!
 Arabian nights
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 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!
