Lion King vs. Aladdin
[Intro]:
Disney Smackdown: Lion King vs. Aladdin, decided by you and our esteemed judges. Who wins? And who goes home empty-handed?
[Rafiki]:
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There is more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of lifе
[Judge 2]:
Was he trying to sound like a zеbra?
[Judge 3]:
What's he got, a couple of coconuts?
[Sultan]:
Oh, I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
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
[Judge 2]:
Hotter than hot in a lot of good ways?
[Judge 3]:
Yeah, I didn't understand that either
[Simba]:
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me
[Nala]:
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?
[Simba & Nala]:
Can you feel the love tonight? (Timon, what's happening?)
The peace the evening brings (Our trio's down to two)
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
[Jafar]:
Good luck, Prince Abubu
[Aladdin]:
I can show you the world
[Jasmine]:
Unbelievable sights
[Aladdin]:
Shining, shimmering, splendid
[Jasmine]:
Indescribable feeling
[Aladdin]:
Tell me, Princess
Now, when did you last let your heart decide?
[Jasmine]:
An endless diamond sky
[Jasmine & Aladdin]:
A whole new world (Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see (Hold your breath, it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far
So let me share this whole new world with you
[Timon]:
Hakuna matata, what a wonderful phrase
[Pumbaa]:
Hakuna matata, ain't no passin' craze
[Simba]:
It means no worries for the rest of your days
[Timon, Pumbaa & Simba]:
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata
[Jafar]:
These featherbrained fools
[Rafiki]:
You think you can do better?
You don't even have a song!
[Simba]:
It means no worries for the rest of your days
[Timon, Pumbaa & Simba]:
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata
[Genie]:
Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherazade had a thousand tales
But, master, you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails
You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo, and how?
See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp, and I'll say
"Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three"
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never
Had a
Friend like me!
Ya-ha-ha!
[Outro]:
Who won? What's next? You decide!
