Arabian Nights (Aladdin, original lyrics)
~ Song
Annotation
This is the original version of the song, that contained the line "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face." Upon the film's (and original soundtrack pressing's) release civil rights groups protested the lyric and it was subsequently rewritten and overdubbed for home video release and later soundtrack pressings.
