Make way for Prince Ali!
Say: Hey, it's Prince Ali!
Hey, clear the way, in the old bazar
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
Ah, you're 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 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!
He's got seventy-five golden camels (don't they look lovely, June?)
Purple peacocks, he's got fifty-three (fabulous, Harry, I love the feathers!)
When it comes to exotic-type-mammals, has he got a zoo
I'm telling you, it's a world-class menagerie!
Prince Ali, handsome is he (there's no question this Ali's alluring), Ali-Ababwa
(Never ordinary, never boring) that physique! How can I speak?
Weak at the knees (everything about the man just plain impresses!)
Well, get on-out in that square (he's a winner, he's a wiz, a wonder)
Adjust your veil and prepare (he's about to pull my heart asunder!)
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali (and I absolutely love the way he dresses!)
He's got ninety-five white 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 sixty elephants, llamas galore
With his bears and lions, a brass band, and more
With his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers
His birds that warble on-key
Make way for Prince Ali!
