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!



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

Then 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



He's got seventy-five golden camels

Purple peacocks

He's got fifty-three

When it comes to exotic type mammals

Has he got a zoo?

I'm telling you, it's a world class menagerie!



Prince Ali! Handsome is he, Ali Ababwa

That physique! How can I speak?

Weak at the knee

Well, get on out to that square

Adjust your veil and prepare

To gawk and grovel at Prince Ali!



(sung in counterpoint)

There's no question this Ali's alluring

Never ordinary, never boring

Everything about the man plain impresses

He's a winner, he's a whiz, a wonder!

He's about to pull my heart asunder!

And I absolutely love the way he dresses!



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, lover serving him

They're just lousy with loyalty to Ali! Prince Ali!



Prince Ali!

Amorous he! Ali Ababwa!

Heard your princess was a sight lovely to see

And that, good people, is why he got dolled up and dropped by

With sixty elephants, llamas galore

With 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
