[00:00.00][GENIE] (spoken):
[00:06.75]Salām, and good evening to you worthy friends.
[00:09.87]Welcome to the fabled city of Agrabah.
[00:13.79]City of flying carpets,
[00:16.00]soaring heroes,
[00:17.41]famous love ballads and more glitz
[00:20.06]and glamour than any other fictional city in the world
[00:25.06][GENIE]
[00:25.99]Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
[00:29.88]Where the caravan camels roam
[00:33.44]Where it's flat and immense
[00:35.75]And the heat is intense
[00:37.62]It's barbaric, but hey, it's home
[00:41.59]When the winds from the East
[00:43.65]And the suns from the West
[00:45.68]And the sand in the glass is right
[00:49.56]Come on down, stop on by
[00:51.89]Hop a carpet and fly
[00:54.18]To another Arabian night
[00:58.78][GENIE] (spoken):
[01:01.71]And of course, you know what Agrabah's famous for?
[01:05.58]This magical lamp.
[01:08.62]Don't be fooled by its "commonplace" appearance,
[01:11.49]like so many things,
[01:13.24]it is not what's on the outside but what's on the inside that counts.
[01:19.42]Woah, got a little deep there down for a second.
[01:22.71]This lamp put Agrabah on the map.
[01:26.53]You've never been? Well...
[01:30.20]we can fix that!
[01:38.64][GENIE]
[01:39.66]Follow me to a place
[01:41.10]Where incredible feats
[01:43.25]Are routine every hour or so
[01:46.89]Where enchantment runs rampant
[01:48.95]It's wild in the streets
[01:51.14]Open Sesame, here we go
[01:54.71]See the dervishes dance
[01:56.56]In ridiculous pants
[01:58.82]Then romance to your heart's delight
[02:02.11]Come on down
[02:03.43][GENIE & COMPANY]
[02:03.87]Come on in
[02:04.61]Let the magic begin
[02:06.82]It's another Arabian Night
[02:10.98]
[02:15.52]Arabian Nights...
[02:19.62]Like Arabian Days...
[02:23.90]More often than naught
[02:25.91]Are hotter than hot!
[02:27.16]
[02:27.58][GENIE]
[02:28.04]In a lot of good ways
[02:30.77]
[02:31.26][GENIE & COMPANY]
[02:31.90]Arabian Nights...
[02:35.32]'Neath Arabian moons...
[02:39.70]A fool off his guard
[02:41.59]Could fall and fall hard
[02:43.21]Out there on the dunes
[02:47.59]
[02:48.07][COMPANY]
[02:48.48]In that magical place
[02:50.26]In that mystical land
[02:52.16]There's a Genie inside every door
[02:55.86]He'll do all your bidding
[02:58.04]Your wish, his command
[02:59.40]
[02:59.80][GENIE]
[03:00.11]It's demeaning, but hey there you are
[03:02.75]
[03:03.09][COMPANY]
[03:03.54]Unbelievable, yes
[03:05.33]An unethical mess
[03:07.44]Nonetheless, no one's very contrived
[03:10.72]Do come here anew
[03:13.78]Come to a land where any mountain can move
[03:17.67]A land of high and treat with tricky logistics
[03:20.89]Like prophets and Mystics
[03:22.64]
[03:23.01][GENIE]
[03:23.46]And I've got statistics to prove!

[03:58.42]Agrabah!
[03:59.39]Come for the hummus
[04:00.38]Stay for the fore-show
[04:02.84]Even the poor people
[04:03.93]Look fabulous!
[04:06.97]And everyone here has a minor in dance
[04:10.61]And now, for the softer side of Agrabah..
[04:13.40]
[04:13.81][COMPANY]
[04:36.28]Arabian Nights...
[04:41.87]Arabian Nights!
[04:43.37]
[04:43.74][GENIE]
[04:44.10]And of course, you must watch
[04:45.63]Your step here in Agrabah
[04:46.79]For danger lurks around
[04:48.46]Every corner and ugly bad guys too!
[04:49.63]
[04:49.97][COMPANY]
[04:50.34]Arabian Nights!
[04:51.74]
[04:52.06][GENIE]
[04:52.41]It's a city where a pitiless nobody
[04:53.91]Can turn out to be...
[04:54.98]A noble somebody
[04:57.82][COMPANY]
[04:58.47]Arabian Nights!
[04:59.99]
[05:00.34][GENIE]
[05:00.68]It's a place where a princess
[05:01.27]Would give up her crown for true love
[05:03.82]But her father, the Sultan, is a stickler
[05:05.64]For the Ancient ways
[05:07.21]And our hero's pals are as
[05:08.35]Thick as thieves. 'Adorable'...But thieves
[05:14.89]Oh! and did I mention...
[05:19.12]Everybody SINGS!
[05:21.36][GENIE & COMPANY]
[05:21.84]Arabian Nights
[05:26.13]Like Arabian Days
[05:30.73]More often than naught
[05:32.58]Are hotter than hot!
[05:34.57]In a lot of good ways!
[05:36.98]
[05:37.80]Arabian Nights
[05:41.23]'Neath Arabian moons
[05:44.91]A fool off his guard
