Arabian Nights (Aladdin)

Summary
"Arabian Nights" is the opening song from Disney's 1992 animated feature film Aladdin, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman which was performed by the Peddler (singing voice by the late Bruce Adler). Howard Ashman and Alan Menken had written several reprises, but they were ultimately cut from the final film.

An alternate version of the song utilizing lyrics from the original demo was later featured in The Return of Jafar, performed by Brian Hannan. This version was also used as the main titles theme for the Aladdin television series.

Aladdin and the King of Thieves features a reprise performed by Bruce Adler as the Peddler, which was originally recorded for the first film but unused.

Lyrics
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 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
