"Prince Ali" lyrics

"Prince Ali"
(from "Aladdin" soundtrack)

[Ensemble:]
Make way for Prince Ali!
Say hey! It's Prince Ali!

[Genie:]
Hey! Clear the way in the old bazaar
Hey you! Let us through!
It's a brand 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

[Men:]
He's got seventy-five golden camels

[Genie:]
Woo, uh-huh, now the ladies, what he got?

[Women:]
Purple peacocks, he's got fifty-three

[Genie:]
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
When it comes to exotic-type mammals, everybody help me out!

[Ensemble:]
He's got a zoo
I'm telling you, it's a world-class menagerie

[Genie:]
Prince Ali! Handsome is he, Ali Ababwa
That physique! How can I speak, weak at my knees, you yummy boy!
So, get on out in that square
Adjust your veil and prepare
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali, oops

[Ensemble:]
He's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys

[Genie:]
He got the monkeys, a bunch of monkeys

[Ensemble:]
And to view them he charges no fee

[Women:]
He's generous, so generous

[Ensemble:]
He's got 10,000 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 Aaa-

[Genie:]
We waiting for you! We're not going 'til you go! You can do it! There it is!

[Genie, ensemble:]
Prince Ali!
Amorous he! Ali Ababwa

[Genie:]
Heard your princess was hot! Where is she?
And that, good people, is why he got all cute and dropped by

[Ensemble, genie:]
With sixty elephants, llamas galore (For real!?)
With his bears and lions, a brass band and more (What?)
With his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers
His birds that warble on key
Make way for Prince Ali!

"Prince Ali" is sung by the Genie while introducing Prince Ali of Ababwa, Aladdin's alter ego. A reprise of the song is sung by Jafar when he unveils Aladdin's royal disguise.
The line "Don't they look lovely, June?" is a reference to a Thanksgiving Parade commentator. Genie is known for using anachronistic figures of speech in his language.
The "Sunday Salam" from the original cartoon version of the song was changed to "Friday Salam" for the 2019 live-action movie adaptation. Will Smith also incorporated some hip-hop musical elements to the song.
