The Return of Jafar / 
Aladdin and the King of Thieves
Lyrics
 

There's a Party Here in Agrabah, Part 1

GENIE:
There's a party here in Agrabah,
There's excitement in the air
People pouring in from near and far
'Cause Jasmine and Aladdin are gonna have a 'waddin''

There's a party here in Agrabah,
Everybody will be there
So if you're a pauper or a shah,
Do somethin' with yer hair!

You mustn't wear an outfit that's naughty
A turban that's unraveling just won't do
No earrings that are tasteless or gaudy
You're gonna look gorgeous when I get through

There's a party here in Agrabah
So I'm goin to paint de town
If you want to see what colors are,
Follow me around!

Aladdin's gettin' married, and it's gonna be
The wedding of the century
My buddy's gettin' married, and you're gonna see
Just how much I can do!

You've heard of your safari, bar mitzvahs, (Aah!)
Baba-tua-luau, a sweet sixteen (Huh!)
Well, none of them compare to what this is!
The food'll be disgusting, by evening you'll be busting!

There's a party here in Agrabah,
And it's got a color glow
If a street rat could've come so far,
Maybe I could do it
Sure, there's nothin' to it!

There's a party here in Agrabah,
But we're not sure that we'll go
For although the bride is lah-tee-dah,
The groom is awfully low

And now we take you down to the palace
Where everyone has celebrated all night long
Without Jafar and all of 'is malice,
Everybody's happy
What could possibly go wrong??

THIEVES:
There's a party here in Agrabah
And we're gonna rob 'em blind!

CASSIM:
While they're all munching caviar
Create a small disturbance,
I'll sneak up from behind

IAGO:
There's a party here in Agrabah
And the loot is pourin' in!
I like this wedding stuff so far!
Maybe if I'm pleasant,
I'll get to keep a present!

GENIE:
We've ordered just a few tasteful flowers
The valet, sir, will carefully park for you
The bridesmaids have been dressing for hours!
Girls, you look just lovely, and so grown-up too

There's a party here in Agrabah
Yes, they're filling up the room
But there's something missing..yes...ah hah!

SULTAN:
Where is the groom?!?!?

And the party's all for me
Just look, you guys, at where we are,
And how our dreams have come to be!

JASMINE:
There's a party here in Agrabah
And I can't believe it's true

Out of Thin Air

JASMINE:
You showed me the world
When I was all locked up inside,
You reached out your hand
And took me on a magic carpet ride
One look at your smile,
And I could see the light
Shining everywhere
People like you don't come out of thin air.

ALADDIN:
Oh, Jasmine
You don't understand
There is so much that you don't see
Just think, if you can,
What growing up had to be like for me
Your father's a man
Who taught you who you are--
Mine was never there
So how can you say I don't come out of thin air?
There's so much I want to know

JASMINE:
You've got the chance to learn

ALADDIN:
If it means I'd have to go

JASMINE:
I'll be right here when you return...
Our wedding can wait

ALADDIN:
I love you

JASMINE:
I think it's worth this small delay

ALADDIN:
Maybe you're right

JASMINE:
And won't it be great
To have your father see our wedding day?

ALADDIN:
I've waited so long

JASMINE:
It isn't too late

ALADDIN:
to learn the truth

BOTH:
And now at last, we can finally say

JASMINE:
Your father is really there

ALADDIN:
There's so much that we might share

JASMINE:
And you'll finally learn

BOTH:
(You) (I) don't come out of thin air.

Are You In or Out?

SA'LUK:
I remember a time
When crime was sublime
There was plenty of loot in the lair
We'd plunder and pillage
And ransack a village
With nary a worry or care
Then along came this king
With his soft-hearted dream
But he ratted us out in the end,
So rally the troops!
We were meant to regroup
And return to our roots once again!
Are you in or out?
Gotta know without a doubt
I'm the one you need for a dirty deed
I'm the best, success is guaranteed
Are you men or mice?
Take a slice of my advice!
You want a fearless leader, one that's strong and stout?
Better vote for me
Are you in or out?

THIEVES:
We used to be smart, yes,
Horrendously heartless
In ravaging raids, we were rough
We knew what we had
To be blissfully bad;
Then Cassim brought this sensitive stuff!
And we strayed from the path
Of our rigorous wrath;
Now we're taking a bath in the dust!
But we'll reclaim our winnings,
Our humble beginnings,
In turmoil and torture we trust!

SA'LUK:
Are you in or out?
Double-crossers or devout?
Put your faith in me,
Pretty soon you'll see
I'm the prince of generosity
Are you foe or friend?
Here's the path I recommend
You want a ride to fame?
I've got the fastest route;
What's it gonna be?
Are you in or out?

THIEVES:
We'll go robbing in all the right places,
From Agrabah dunes to Bali
Imagine the fear on their faces
When we drop by for cookies and tea

SA'LUK:
Come along, boys!
Follow me!
Are you in or out?
If you're with me, give a shout (YAY!)
I'll lead you all the way,
Into the glory days

THIEVES:
We'll begin a life of crime that pays
Are you out or in?
Make your choice now, sink or swim!

SA'LUK:
You can stick with me, or stay behind and pout
What's it gonna be?
Consider carefully.
Are you in or out?

Father and Son

GENIE:
It's a big, bright, beautiful future
Thank your lucky stars you're alive!
Ya got someone special to talk to
A friend that you can trust for life!

You've been on your own
With no family ties,
But those solo days are done
You'll be two of a kind
Spending quality time
Together as father and son!

Buildin' model ships
Takin' fishin' trips
Workin' hand in hand
Painting the palace, and mowin' the sand
First at ten to go
with your daddy-o
Once you break the ice
You'll capostulate paternal advice
(See, you're traveling at the speed of life
that's the theory of relatives!)

It's a fine, fantabulous future
I see fruit on the family tree
You'll be great as a grumpy ol' grandpa
Bouncing babies on your knee! On the comfy couch
After playin' one-on-one
Reamin' back-to-back,
Betcha wallop the Shaq
Together as father and son!

CASSIM:
May be a bumpy ride

ALADDIN:
We'll make it side-by-side

GENIE:
Good afternoon, I'll be your travel guide
Move over Aladdin,
Make room for dad!
You got a whole new shoulder to cry on
Take a chance now,
Give it a spin
You've had chums for pal-in' around with
But you never had a friend like him!

Put your checkered past behind you now
No more livin' on the run
Face a big, bright, beautiful future
Together together together together as father and son!

Arabian Nights (Reprise)
(The Return of Jafar)

So it goes
Short and sweet
They were wed down the street
May their marriage be truly blessed

Happy end
To the tale
And tomorrow's a sale
So I'd better go home and rest!

Here's a kiss and a hug
Sure you don't need a rug?
I assure you, the price is right

Well, salaam,
Worthy friend
Come back soon, that's the end!
'Til another Arabian Night!

Forget About Love
(The Return of Jafar)

IAGO:
Forget about that guy
Forget about the way you fell into his eyes
Forget about his charms
Forget about the way he held you in his arms
Walking on air's obnoxious
The thrill
The chill
Will make you nauseous
And you'll never get enough
Just forget about love!

Forget about romance
Forget about the way your heart begins to dance
Then you feel the blush
When he's spouting out some sentimental mush
Love really is revolting!
It's even worse than when you're moulting
Enough of this fluff!
Just forget about love!

JASMINE:
I had almost forgotten the way it felt
When he held out his hand for mine
My heart all a-flutter

IAGO:
Oh, how I shudder

JASMINE:
The first time we kissed

IAGO:
It won't be missed!
Forget about 'is touch

JASMINE:
I can't forget about his touch

IAGO:
In the scheme of things,
It doesn't matter much

JASMINE:
It matters so mu-uch

IAGO:
You're better on your own
A meal becomes a banquet
When you eat alone

JASMINE:
Hmm-mm-mm-mm

BOTH:
Love's filled with compromises

IAGO:
And don't you hate those big surprises?

JASMINE:
A cozy rendezvous

IAGO:
Oh, please!

JASMINE:
Candlelight for two

IAGO:
Oh, geez!

JASMINE:
Look you're calling my bluff!

BOTH:
(I can't) (Just) forget about love!

JASMINE:
I can't forget about my heart

ALADDIN:
I can't forget about my heart

JASMINE:
And how it felt
To fall for you right from the start

ALADDIN:
I'm still falling

JASMINE:
Whatever we may do

ALADDIN:
Whatever we may do

JASMINE:
You are here for me,
And I'll be there for you

ALADDIN:
I'll be there

BOTH:
To wish, to want, to wander
To find the sun
Through rain and thunder

ALADDIN:
A cozy rendezvous

JASMINE:
Yes, please!

ALADDIN:
Candlelight for two

IAGO:
Oh, geez!
Enough is enough!

ALADDIN and JASMINE:
We can't forget about love!

You're Only Second Rate
(The Return of Jafar)

I must admit,
Your parlor tricks are amusing
I bet you've got a bunny
Under your hat!
Now here's your chance
To get the best of me,
Hope your hand is hot!
C'mon, clown,
Let's see what you've got!
You try to slam me
With your hardest stuff
But your double whammy
Isn't up to snuff
I'll set the record straight
You're simply out of date
You're only second rate!
You think your cat's a meanine,
But your tiger's tame
You've got a lot to learn
About the genie game
So for your information,
I'll reiterate
You're only second rate!
Men cower at the power
In my pinky
My thumb is number one
On every list
But if you're not convinced
That I'm invincible,
Put me to the test!
I'd love to lay this rivalry to rest!
Go ahead and zap me
With the big surprise
Snap me in a trap,
Cut me down to size
I'll make a big escape
It's just a piece of cake
You're only second rate!
You know, your hocus-pocus
Isn't tough enough
And your mumbo-jumbo
Doesn't measure up
Let me pontificate
Upon your sorry state
You're only second rate!
Zaba-caba-dabra!
Granny's gonna grab ya!
Alakazam-da-mus
And this thing's bigger than the both of us!
So spare me your tremendous scare!
You look horrendous in your underwear!
And I can hardly wait
To discombobulate
I'll send ya back and packing
In a shipping crate
You'll make a better living
With a spinning plate
You're only second rate!

I'm Looking Out For Me
(The Return of Jafar)

That's it!
I've had it!
I hate to be dramatic,
But it's time for me to fly the coop
Terrific!
Fine!
I'm drawin' the line
Before I wind up in a parrot soup!
I was a fool to let you run the show
I'm cuttin' ya loose, pal!
Look out below!
Arrividerci!
C'est la vie!
Hope all goes well!
I'm lookin' out for me!

Okay! I'm little,
Been playin' tank and fiddle,
And I don't get no respect
I turn the other cheek,
But this busted beak
Is the only thanks that I get!
I never found a friend that I can trust
They promise caviar,
And leave me eatin' dust!
That's some reward for loyalty
From here on in,
I'm lookin' out for me!
Oh, I don't need nobody else
I'll never fail
I'll cover my own tail
I can take care of myself!

You know, it just don't pay
To give a hoot
I'm givin' all my heart
What do I get?
Da boot!
I'm through wit' dat,
I'm flappin' free
From here on in,
I'm lookin' out for me!

Nothin Like A Friend
(The Return of Jafar)

I parachuted down
Into the Taj Mahal
I rode a (-I don't know-)
Along the great Great Wall!
I even made the famous
Leaning Tower fall,
But who was with me through it all?
Nobody!

The Moscow Circus
Hired me to fly trapeze
On Mount Olympus,
Ran a race with Hercules
It's easy when you're chased by killer bees!!
Who said 'geshundheit' when I sneezed? [ACHOO]

So now I'm home,
Home again with you,
You chase the clouds away
Whenever I am blue

ALADDIN:
('You're always blue!')

And the pyramids,
I highly recommend
There is nothing in the world
Quite like a friend!

Slept like a babe in Bombay
On a bed of nails
Moroccans set my fairy tales
Of seven veils
I single-handedly
I even saved the whales!
No one was there to hear my tales!

In Acapulco,
Joined a Mariachi band
I rode the ragin' rapids
Down the Rio Grande
Flew in a air balloon,
But when I tried to land
Nobody laughed,
Or lent a hand
Without you, the Amazon is
Just a trickle
Without you, the Sahara's
Not so hot
Without you, Niagara Falls
Is just a leaky faucet
And the Huey II
Is just some yacht

Now that I'm home,
Home again, it's clear,
All I ever wanted
Seems to be right here
I've traveled East and West
And now, I'm back again
And there's nothing in the world
Quite like a friend..

ALADDIN:
There's nothing in the world

JASMINE:
Nothing in the whole wide world

There is nothing in the world
Quite like a friend!
Nothin' in the whole wide world!

Arabian Nights
(Another version)

Follow me to a place where incredible feats
Are routine every hour or so
Where enchantment runs rampant
Gets wild in the streets
Open Sesame and here we go

Arabian Nights
Like Arabian days
They tease and excite
Take off and take flight
They shock and amaze

Arabian Nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways

Pack your shield, pack your sword
You won't ever get bored
Though get beaten or gored you might
C'mon down stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian Night
