Prince Ali Lyrics

PRINCE ALI

All               Make way for Prince Ali!

                   Say hey, it’s Prince Ali!

ALL….(please learn all words for all groups)

Group 1     Hey! Clear the way in the ol’ bazaar!

Group 2     Hey you! Let us through! It’s a bright new star!

Group 3     Oh come! Be the first on your block to meet his eye!

All               Make way, here he comes, ring bells, bang the drums!

Genie         Are you gonna love this guy!

All               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 hoards!

                   A hundred bad guys with swords!

                   Who sent those goons to their lords?

                   Why, Prince Ali!

Girls            He’s got seventy five golden camels.

Boys           Purple peacocks? He’s got fifty three.

Girls            When it comes to exotic type mammals,

All               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 in that square,

                   Adjust your veil and prepare

                   To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali!

                   There’s no question this Ali is alluring,

                   Never ordinary, never boring,

                   Everything about the man just 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!

Group 1     He’s got ninety five white Persian monkeys

Narrators   He’s got the monkeys, let’s see the monkeys!

Group 1     And to view them he charges no fee

Narators    He’s generous, so generous!

Group 1     He’s got slaves, he’s got servants and flunkies

Genie & Crowd   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!

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 his 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!
