Songtext zu ' Arabian Nights ' von Aladdin (Musical)

Salām, 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 then any other fictional city in the world

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

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 down for a second
This lamp put Agrabah on the map
You've never been?
Well, we can fix that

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 naught
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 door
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
Do come here anew
Come to a land where any mountain can move
A land of high and treat with tricky logistics
Like prophets and Mystics

And I've got statistics to prove

Arabian Nights
Arabian Nights

Agrabah!
Come for the hummus
Stay for the fore-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 pitiless 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 naught
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
