Arabian Nights


Music: Alan Menken
Lyrics: Howard Ashman
Performed by: Robin Williams

MIDI: � Arabian Nights


� � � � � � 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

� � � � � � { Original first verse (1992-93):
� � � � � � Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
� � � � � � Where the caravan camels roam
� � � � � � Where they cut off your ear
� � � � � � If they don't like your face
� � � � � � 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


� � � � � � Arabian nights
� � � � � � Like Arabian days
� � � � � � More often than not
� � � � � � 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

One Jump Ahead



Music: Alan Menken
Lyrics: Tim Rice
Performed by: Brad Kane
MIDI: � One Jump Ahead


� � � � � � Aladdin: Gotta keep
� � � � � � One jump ahead of the breadline
� � � � � � One swing ahead of the sword
� � � � � � I steal only what I can't afford
� � � � � � ( That's Everything! )

� � � � � � One jump ahead of the lawmen
� � � � � � That's all, and that's no joke
� � � � � � These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

� � � � � � Guards: Riffraff! Street rat! Soundrel! Take that!

� � � � � � Aladdin: Just a little snack, guys
� � � � � � Guards: Rip him open, take it back, guys
� � � � � � Aladdin: I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
� � � � � � You're my only friend, Abu!
� � � � � � Crowd: Who?

� � � � � � Ladies: Oh it's sad Aladdin's hit the bottom
� � � � � � He's become a one-man rise in crime
� � � � � � Older Lady: I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em
� � � � � � Aladdin: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
� � � � � � Tell you all about it when I got the time!

� � � � � � One jump ahead of the slowpokes
� � � � � � One skip ahead of my doom
� � � � � � Next time gonna use a nom de plume

� � � � � � One jump ahead of the hitmen
� � � � � � One hit ahead of the flock
� � � � � � I think I'll take a stroll around the block

� � � � � � Crowd: Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!

� � � � � � Aladdin: Let's not be too hasty
� � � � � � Lady: Still I think he's rather tasty
� � � � � � Aladdin: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
� � � � � � Otherwise we'd get along
� � � � � � Crowd: Wrong!

� � � � � � Aladdin: One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
� � � � � � (Vandal!)
� � � � � � One hop ahead of the hump
� � � � � � (Street rat!)
� � � � � � One trick ahead of disaster
� � � � � � (Scoundrel!)
� � � � � � They're quick, but I'm much faster
� � � � � � (Take that!)
� � � � � � Here goes, better throw my hand in
� � � � � � Wish me happy landin'
� � � � � � All I gotta do is jump

� � � � � � Aladdin: Riffraff, street rat
� � � � � � I don't buy that
� � � � � � If only they'd look closer
� � � � � � Would they see a poor boy? No, siree
� � � � � � They'd find out
� � � � � � There's so much more to me

Prince Ali


Music: Alan Menken
Lyrics: Howard Ashman
Performed by: Robin Williams
MIDI: � Prince Ali


� � � � � � 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
� � � � � � (Don't they look lovely June?)
� � � � � � Purple peacocks
� � � � � � He's got fifty-three
� � � � � � (Fabulous Harry I love the feathers)
� � � � � � 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
� � � � � � (There's no question this Ali's alluring)
� � � � � � That physique! How can I speak
� � � � � � (Never ordinary, never boring)
� � � � � � Weak at the knee
� � � � � � (Everything about the man just plain impresses)
� � � � � � Well, get on out in that square
� � � � � � (He's a winner, he's a whiz, a wonder!)
� � � � � � Adjust your vein and prepare
� � � � � � (He's about to pull my heart asunder!)
� � � � � � To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali!
� � � � � � (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 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!

Reprise


Music: Alan Menken
Lyrics: Tim Rice
Performed by: Jonathon Freeman

� � � � � � Prince Ali, yes it is he
� � � � � � But not as you know him
� � � � � � Read my lips and come to grips with reality
� � � � � � Yes, meet a blast from your past
� � � � � � Whose lies were too good to last
� � � � � � Say hello to your precious Prince Ali!

� � � � � � So Ali turns out to be merely Aladdin
� � � � � � Just a con, need I go on?
� � � � � � Take it from me
� � � � � � His personality flaws
� � � � � � Give me adequate cause
� � � � � � To send him packing on a one-way trip
� � � � � � So his prospects take a terminal dip
� � � � � � His assets frozen, the venue chosen
� � � � � � Is the ends of the earth - whoopee!
� � � � � � So long, ex-Prince Ali!

A Whole New World



Music: Alan Menken
Lyrics: Tim Rice
Performed by: Brad Kane & Lea Salonga
MIDI: A Whole New World


� � � � � � (Aladdin:) I can show you the world
� � � � � � Shining, shimmering, splendid
� � � � � � Tell me, princess, now when did
� � � � � � You last let your heart decide?

� � � � � � I can open your eyes
� � � � � � Take you wonder by wonder
� � � � � � Over, sideways and under
� � � � � � On a magic carpet ride

� � � � � � A whole new world
� � � � � � A new fantastic point of view
� � � � � � No one to tell us no
� � � � � � Or where to go
� � � � � � Or say we're only dreaming

� � � � � � (Jasmine:) A whole new world
� � � � � � A dazzling place I never knew
� � � � � � But when I'm way up here
� � � � � � It's crystal clear
� � � � � � That now I'm in a whole new world with you
� � � � � � (Aladdin:) Now I'm in a whole new world with you

� � � � � � (Jasmine:) Unbelievable sights
� � � � � � Indescribable feeling
� � � � � � Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
� � � � � � Through an endless diamond sky

� � � � � � A whole new world
� � � � � � (Aladdin:) Don't you dare close your eyes
� � � � � � (Jasmine:) A hundred thousand things to see
� � � � � � (Aladdin:) Hold your breath - it gets better
� � � � � � (Jasmine:) I'm like a shooting star
� � � � � � I've come so far
� � � � � � I can't go back to where I used to be

� � � � � � (Aladdin:) A whole new world
� � � � � � (Jasmine:) Every turn a surprise
� � � � � � (Aladdin:) With new horizons to pursue
� � � � � � (Jasmine:) Every moment red-letter
� � � � � � (Both:) I'll chase them anywhere
� � � � � � There's time to spare
� � � � � � Let me share this whole new world with you

� � � � � � A whole new world
� � � � � � That's where we'll be
� � � � � � (Aladdin:) A thrilling chase
� � � � � � (Jasmine:) A wondrous place
� � � � � � (Both:) For you and me
