| Arabian Nights
|
| Like Arabian days
|
| More often than not
|
| Are hotter than hot
|
| In a lot of good ways
|
| Gotta keep
|
| One jump, ahead of the bread line
|
| One swing ahead of the sword
|
| I steal only what I can’t afford
|
| (And 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
|
| 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
|
| You ain’t never had a friend like me
|
| Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves
|
| Scheherazade had a thousand tales
|
| But master you’re in luck, 'cause up your sleeves
|
| You’ve got a brand of magic never fails
|
| You’ve got some power in your corner now
|
| Some heavy ammunition in your camp
|
| You got some punch, pizzaz, yahoo and how
|
| See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp, and I’ll say:
|
| «Mr. |
| Aladdin, sir, what will your pleasure be?
|
| Let me take your order, jot it down?»
|
| You ain’t never had a friend, never had a friend
|
| You ain’t never had a friend, never had a friend
|
| You ain’t never
|
| (Never!)
|
| Had a
|
| (Had a!)
|
| Friend like Prince Ali, handsome is he, Ali Ababwa
|
| (There's no question this Ali’s alluring — never ordinary never boring)
|
| That physique! |
| How can I speak? |
| 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 veil and prepare
|
| (He's about to pull my heart asunder)
|
| To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali!
|
| Now I’m in a whole new world
|
| Unbelievable sights
|
| Indescribable feeling
|
| Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
|
| Through an endless diamond sky
|
| A whole new world
|
| (Don't you dare close your eyes)
|
| A hundred thousand things to see
|
| (Hold your breath it gets better)
|
| I’m like a shooting star
|
| I’ve come so far
|
| I can’t go back
|
| To where I used to be
|
| A whole new world
|
| (Every turn a surprise)
|
| With new horizons to pursue
|
| (Every moment gets better)
|
| I’ll chase them anywhere
|
| There’s time to spare
|
| Let me share this whole new world with you |
