[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! |

[04:02.84] | Even the poor people |
[04:03.93] | Look fabulous! |

[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 |
