Make way for Prince Ali
Say hey! It's Prince Ali

Hey! Clear the way in the old Bazaar
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!
Are you 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 Sunday salaam
Then come and meet his spectacular coterie

Prince Ali!
Mighty is he!
Ali Ababwa
Strong as ten regular men, definitely!
He 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
Purple peacocks
He's got fifty-three
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, Ali Ababwa
That physique! How can I speak?
Weak at the knee
Well, get on out to that square
Adjust your veil and prepare
To gawk and grovel at Prince Ali!

(sung in counterpoint)
There's no question this Ali's alluring
Never ordinary, never boring
Everything about the man plain impresses
He's a winner, he's a whiz, a wonder!
He's about to pull my heart asunder!
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, lover 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 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
