I’ve been seeing alot of people who want the original, so here it is.
The ‘Prince Ali’ song, sung by Robin Williams (genie).
Lyrics:
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
The 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 in that square
Adjust your veil and prepare
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali!
There’s no question this Ali’s alluring
Never ordinary, never boring
Everything about the man just 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 love 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 his 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!

…You know if I were the Sultan I’d be a little worried that there was a foreign (?) prince riding through the street of my capital city on an elephant along with dozens of sword throwing soldiers…
I guess age has made me cynical. And he’s probably 3 times older than I am. XD

Islam is a religion
followers called muslim
and they are not of a certain race, arabs & persians make only 24% of all muslims.
There are european, chinese, indian, african, south east asian, south american and every race in the world has muslim followers

Religion: Islam.
Muslim is the Arabic word for slave, submitters to the will of Allah.
Arab is anyone originating from the region of Arabia.
Simple stuff yo. x-D Besides, there are a great deal of Persian muslims but its not where the religion originates from. It originates from the Holy Land, (Although Islam teaches that all lands are holy, Holy Land refers to the regions of “Eden” which would be the area of Iraq and Israel etc.)
Egyptians, things of that nature.

*nanny-nanny boo-boo* *pokes her tongue out*
In the german version he has 200 golden camels….

Well in the movie they use ‘Allah’ a few times so I figure it’s safe to assume yes.

LumiusX

religion : islam
followers : muslims
race : originally persian ( as far as i know )

praise be to robin williams!
August 9th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Yeah because they say ‘Praise to Allah’ in the movie. At least I think they do.
August 12th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Ahh, my sincere apologies, then.
August 13th, 2008 at 7:03 am
The french on is better ^^
August 14th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Yea they do
August 18th, 2008 at 3:09 am
I dont think you understand..
Islam (muslims) is a religion
Arabian is their race
i’m asking if they follow the islamic religion
August 19th, 2008 at 2:10 am
They’re Arabian, actually. Thus song in the beginning of the movie, “Arabian Days”. =)
