Hey, clear the way, in the old bazaar
Hey you! Let us through! It's a bright new star
Oh, come, be the first on your block to meet his eye!
Make way, here he comes! Ring bells! Bang the drums!
Are you gonna love this guy!

Prince Ali, fabulous he, Ali Ababwa
Genuflect, show some respect, down on one knee!
Now try your best to stay calm,
Brush up your Sunday salaam
And come and meet his spectactular coterie!

Prince Ali, handsome is he, Ali Ababwa
That physique, how can I speak? Weak at the knee
Now get on out of that square,
Adjust your veil and prepare
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali
Make way for Prince Ali!
