Aah, salam and good day to you. Do you want to hear the story of Aladdin and his lamp? A desert tale of a young boy, the princess he loves, and the genie that makes all his wishes come true.>
------ 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 Arabiaan niiiiight
Arabian niiiiiights Like Arabian daaaaaays More often than not Are hotter than hot In a lot of good waaaays
Arabian niiiiiights 'Neath Arabian mooooooons A fool off his guard Could fall and fall hard Out there on the duuuuunes
------
Gotta keep One jump ahead of the breadline One swing ahead of the sword I steal only what I can't affooord (But That's Everything!)
One jump ahead of the lawman That's all, and that's no joke These guys don't appreciate I'm brooooke
(That boy is such a lousy) Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!
Just a little snack, guuuys Lets rip him open, take it back, guys Gotta steal to eat, Gotta eat to live, Otherwise we'd get alooong
