Arabian Nights (Aladdin, revised lyrics)
~ Song
Annotation
This is the reversion with the line "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face" replaced with "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense." This change was made after civil rights groups protested the original lyric's inclusion in the film, decrying it as racist.
