Prince Ali
Alan Menken (Children\'s) Lyrics

Make way for Prince Ali
Allow space for the arrival of Prince Ali

Say hey! It's Prince Ali
Announce the presence of Prince Ali with excitement

Hey! Clear the way in the old Bazaar
Attention! Make room in the marketplace

Hey you!
Addressing someone in the crowd

Let us through!
Please clear a path for us

It's a bright new star!
Prince Ali is a shining new figure

Oh Come!
Invitation to come closer

Be the first on your block to meet his eye!
Be the first to make eye contact with him

Make way!
Clear the path for him

Here he comes!
He is arriving

Ring bells! Bang the drums!
Celebrate his arrival with music and noise

Are you gonna love this guy!
You will absolutely adore him

Prince Ali! Fabulous he! Ali Ababwa
Prince Ali is splendid and awe-inspiring

Genuflect, show some respect
Show reverence and respect

Down on one knee!
Kneel to show respect and admiration

Now, try your best to stay calm
Try to control your excitement

Brush up your sunday salaam
Prepare to greet him with a respectful welcome

The come and meet his spectacular coterie
Meet his amazing group of followers

Prince Ali! Mighty is he! Ali Ababwa
Prince Ali is powerful and impressive

Strong as ten regular men, definitely!
He is as strong as ten ordinary men

He faced the galloping hordes
He confronted a great number of opponents

A hundred bad guys with swords
He battled a hundred enemies armed with swords

Who sent those goons to their lords?
Who defeated those thugs and sent them to their bosses?

Why, Prince Ali
Because it was Prince Ali who defeated them

He's got seventy-five golden camels
He owns seventy-five camels with golden saddles

Purple peacocks
He has peacocks with purple feathers

He's got fifty-three
He owns fifty-three animals

When it comes to exotic-type mammals
He has a collection of unusual animals

Has he got a zoo?
Does he have a zoo of his own?

I'm telling you, it's a world-class menagerie
It is a globally famous collection of animals

Prince Ali! Handsome is he, Ali Ababwa
Prince Ali is a great-looking man

That physique! How can I speak
His physical appearance is so great that I am speechless

Weak at the knee
I feel weak in the knees because of his handsomeness

Well, get on out in that square
Go to the public space to see him

Adjust your veil and prepare
Prepare yourself but get ready

To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali!
Look in admiration and adoration at Prince Ali

He's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys
He has ninety-five White Persian monkeys

(He's got the monkeys, let's see the monkeys)
He owns the monkeys, let us look at them

And to view them he charges no fee
He does not charge any fee to see them

(He's generous, so generous)
He is very generous

He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies
He has many slaves, servants, and assistants

(Proud to work for him)
They are proud to work under him

They bow to his whim love serving him
They happily serve him and follow his orders

They're just lousy with loyalty to Ali! Prince Ali!
They are incredibly loyal to Prince Ali

Prince Ali! Amorous he! Ali Ababwa
Prince Ali is charming and romantic

Heard your princess was a sight lovely to see
He heard about the beauty of your princess

And that, good people, is why he got dolled up and dropped by
That is why he dressed up and came to visit

With sixty elephants, llamas galore
He arrived with a large number of elephants and llamas

With his bears and lions
He also brought his bears and lions

A brass band and more
A brass band accompanied him as well

With his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers
He brought forty fakirs, his cooks and bakers with him

His birds that warble on key
He has birds that can sing in harmony

Make way for prince Ali!
Clear the path for Prince Ali once again
