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
And 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?
He's got 75 golden camels (don't they look lovely, June?)
Purple peacocks, he's got 53 (fabulous, Mary, I love the feathers)
When it comes to exotic-type mammals
Has he got a zoo?
I am 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 the square
Adjust your veil and prepare
To gawk and grovel, and stare at Prince Ali
He's got 95 bright 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 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
