Lyrics of
Aladdin - Arabian Nights

Arabian Nights is part of the soundtrack of the 1992 Aladdin movie, composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman. The song introduces the exotic setting of Agrabah, the fictional city where Aladdins story takes place.

Oh, I come from a land, from a far away place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home
When the wind's from the east and the sun's 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

Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not, 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
