Lyrics
Make way for Prince Ali
Say, hey, it's Prince Ali
Hey, clear the way to 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
You're gonna love this guy!
Prince Ali, fabulous he, Ali Ababwa
Show some respect, boy, genuflect, down on one knee
Now, try your best to stay calm
Brush up your Friday salaam
Then come and meet his spectacular coterie
Prince Ali, mighty is he, Ali Ababwa
Strong as ten regular men, definitely
He's faced the galloping hordes
A hundred bad guys with swords
Who sent those goons to their lords? Why, Prince Ali
Fellas, he's got (he's got 75 golden camels) whoa
Uh-huh, now the ladies, what he got?
(Purple peacocks, he's got 53) uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
When it comes to exotic-type mammals (everybody help me out)
He's got a zoo? (I'm telling you)
It's a world-class menagerie
Prince Ali, handsome is he (there's no question, this Ali's alluring)
Ali Ababwa (never ordinary, never boring)
That physique, how can I speak? (Everything about the man)
Weak at the knee (just plain impresses)
So get on out in that square (he's a winner, he's a wiz, a wonder)
Adjust your veil 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 95 white Persian monkeys
(He's got the monkeys, a bunch of monkeys)
And to view them he charges no fee
(He's generous, so generous)
He's got ten thousand 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 A-
We're waiting for you
We're not going until you go
You can do it
There it is
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 60 elephants, llamas galore
With his bears and lions, a brass band and more
With his 40 fakirs, his cooks, his bakers
His birds that warble on key
Make way for Prince Ali
