Arabian Nights Lyrics - Alan Menken

Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place 

Where the caravan camels roam 

Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face 

It's barbaric, but hey, it's home 

When the winds from the east 

And the suns from the west 

And the sand in the glass is right 

Come on down, stop on by, hop a carpet and fly 

To another Arabian night

Arabian nights like Arabian days 

More often than not are hotter than hot 

In a lot of good ways 

Arabian nights 'neath Arabian moons 

A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard 

Out there on the dunes 

Ah, salaam and good evening to you, worthy friend. Please, please, come closer. Ah, too close, a little too close. There. 

Welcome to Agrabah, city of mystery, of enchantment. And the finest merchandise this side of the River Jordan, on sale today. Come on down. Look at this, yes, combination hookah and coffeemaker, also makes Julienne fries. It will not break, it will not- it broke. 

Ohh, look at this, I have never seen one of these intact before. This is the famous dead sea Tupperware. Listen, ah, still good. Wait, don't go! I can see that you're only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think, then, you would be most rewarded to consider this. Do not be fooled by its commonplace apperance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. 

This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man who like this lamp was more than what he seemed: a diamond in the rough.
