Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue,! Dialogue, dialogue! More dialogue! Dialogue! And a joke!
(verse 1)
[BOTH]
(sung)
Oh, I come from a land
From a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear
If they don't like your face
It's barbaric. But hеy, it's home
When the wind's from thе East
And the sun's from the West
And the sand in your glass is right
Come on down, come on in
Let the magic begin
It's another Arabian night
Oh, I come from a land
Where intrigue is in style
And adventure is status quo
Where they hack off your lips
If they don't like your smile
It's the law. Did I make it? No
See the dervishes dance
In ridiculous pants
Then romance to your hearts delight
Come on down, stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night
Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
They tease and excite
Take off and take flight
They shock and amaze
Arabian nights
Like Arabian noons
The thrills that one seeks
One finds with the sheiks
The geeks and the goons
(verse 2)
In that magical place
In that mystical land
There's a genie in every jar
He'll do all your bidding
Your wish his command; it's demeaning
But hey, there you are
Arabian nights
[ALAN]
Like Arabian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In several ways
Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A guy off his guard
Could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes
Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
(vocalizes)
Arabian nights
Like Arabian (vocalizes)
Follow me to a place
Where incredible feats
Are routine-I don't know- every hour or so
Where enchantment runs rampant
Yes, wild in the streets
Open Sesame. Here we go
Pack your shield, pack your sword
You won't ever get bored
Though get beaten or gored you might
Call it mad, call it crazed
But let Allah be praised
It's another
Arabian night.... (vocalizes)
