Lyrics:

In this song, the Genie and the Company introduce the city of Agrabah and the characters of the story.
(Spoken)
Sal?m, and good evening to you worthy friends. Welcome to the fabled city of Agrabah. City of flying carpets, soaring heroes, famous love ballads and more glitz and glamour than any other fictional city in the world
(Sung)
Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where it's flat and immense
And the heat is intense
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
(Spoken)
And of course, you know what Agrabah's famous for? This magical lamp. Don't be fooled by its 'commonplace' appearance, like so many things, it is not what's on the outside but what's on the inside that counts. Woah, got a little deep there for a second. This lamp put Agrabah on the map. You've never been? Well... we can fix that!
(Sung)
Follow me to a place
Where incredible feats
Are routine every hour or so
Where enchantment runs rampant
It's wild in the streets
Open Sesame, here we go

See the dervishes dance
In ridiculous pants
Then romance to your heart's delight
Come on down

Come on in
Let the magic begin
It's 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

In that magical place
In that mystical land
There's a Genie inside every jar
He'll do all your bidding
Your wish, his command

It's demeaning, but hey there you are

Unbelievable, yes
An unethical mess
Nonetheless, no one's very contrived
You come here and you've
Come to a land where any mountain can move
A land of high intrigue with tricky logistics
By prophets and Mystics

And I've got statistics to prove

Arabian Nights
Arabian Nights

Agrabah
Come for the hummus
Stay for the floor-show
Even the poor people
Look fabulous!
And everyone here has a minor in dance
And now, for the softer side of Agrabah

Arabian Nights...
Arabian Nights

And of course, you must watch
Your step here in Agrabah
For danger lurks around
Every corner and ugly bad guys too

Arabian Nights

It's a city where a penniless nobody
Can turn out to be...
A noble somebody

Arabian Nights

It's a place where a princess
Would give up her crown for true love
But her father, the Sultan, is a stickler
For the Ancient ways
And our hero's pals are as
Thick as thieves
'Adorable'... but thieves
Oh, and did I mention...
Everybody sings

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

Arabian Nights...
Arabian Nights...
Arabian Nights...
Arabian Nights...
Arabian Nights...
