A hundred bad guys with swords

Adjust your veil and prepare.

And to view them he charges no fee

He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies
     F                        F
They bow to his whim, love serving him

With sixty elephants, llamas galore

A brass band and more

His birds that warble on key

Make way for Prince Ali!
