<Spooky oriental music playing as audience enters. As show is
about to start, it gets louder and louder and louder until it is very loud, and
then suddenly stops>
<Ali B enters stage>
Ali Ladies and Gentlemen, Bruddas, Sistas, Hermaphrodites, Dogs, Cats,
`orses, Hiatt Baker Students, North Londoners, Souf Londoners, medics, and
people from "the coun-try-side" welcome to dis year's Easter Panto, `ere, for
da first time, in da Avon Gorge. I is Ali B, and I is going to be your host for
dis evening. I `as also got me 40 gangstas wiv me, but dey has got some well
good quality skunk backstage and can't be arsed to come on.
Now, as you may
`ave guessed from the name, dis panto is all about someone who was well good at
Maths called Al Addin'. <Pause, then, if the audience doesn't get
it> You see, `e was called dat because he's always "addin'" stuff
together.
Now, in a minute we is going to join da action in Baghdad, in da
middle of da Middle East, where da weather is hot, da desert is sandy, and
apparently, everybody likes to ride a camel. But I fink
dat is just sick. Wot is wrong with a normal `orse?
Dat is all for now,
`cos I is off to steal handbags from old ladies, `cos I is bad. Selecta!
<Spooky oriental music starts again, and Ali exits>
<Enter Narrator>
Narrator Please excuse him. My name is Clive, and I will in fact be your
narrator for this evening. Welcome to this year's Easter panto, back despite
popular demand, and currently receiving rave reviews in Tableware International
Magazine and Pig Farmer Monthly. After the unfortunate incident with the
inflatable rubber gloves and the chainsaw last year, I must insist on a few
ground rules for tonight. Please ensure your mobile phones are extinguished and
your cigarettes switched off and that any acts of sexual deviancy take place in
the dressing room after the show and not in the audience during the
performance.
Our story begins in Baghdad, capital city of an obscure
sultanate I doubt any of you have heard of. The city bazaar is a lively and
colourful place, full of crooks, charlatans, ladies of easy virtue and, for
some rather irritating reason, American gap year students.
<Enter Dobbin, followed by a procession of street entertainers, including
jugglers, snake charmers and musicians. Two American gap year students are
wandering round. James Bondage is around, looking very sneaky>
<Belly dancer appears>
Belly dancer Looking for a good time, big boy?
<Enter Aladdin with his barrow of fruit & veg, and a sign that says,
"Al's fruit and veg">
Narrator The hero of our tale is Aladdin, a poor lad, without two
carrots to rub together. He comes from a poor family, his mother, Widow
Twankee, runs Suds and Studs, the local launderette and sex shop and Aladdin
sells his wares on the street.
Aladdin Roll up, roll up, get your fresh fruit and veg here. Parsnips
five pounds a pound, courgettes the like of which you've never laid your hands
on, <woman walks past> my, what a lovely pair of melons madam,
<man walks past> and sir, such a lovely bunch of coconuts as I
have never
seen.
<Americans have finished with the street performers and wander over
towards Aladdin>
Aladdin Ah, you must be American.
Chuck Damn straight! We're from the world's greatest superpower, and boy
are we glad to be visiting your country, so we can see what it's like before it
gets blown up.
Bambi-Mae Say, what's your name, honey?
Aladdin Aladdin.
Bambi-Mae Nice to meet you Al. I'm Bambi-Mae and this is my friend
Chuck.
Aladdin O-kay. Would you like a look at my parsnips, Bambi-Mae? Here,
feel that. You won't find better this side of Constantinople.
Chuck Is that near Paris, Germany?
Aladdin Something like that. <To audience> Are these guys
nuts?
Bambi-Mae Have you got any nuts? I go just crazy for a good bag of
nuts.
Aladdin I'm sure you do darling. I ain't got any nuts, but I've got this
very special item, just been waiting for a discerning customer like your good
self.
Chuck What's that then?
Aladdin Keep your voice down. I don't want us to be overheard. There are
spies about, and if it ever got out that I was selling the Sacred Pineapple of
Eternity
Chuck <loud> The Pineapple of Eternity!
Bambi-Mae <loud> Quiet Chuck! He told us not to shout about
the Pineapple of Eternity!
Aladdin You see, this sacred fruit is grown only in the upper reaches of
the Um Bongo Valley, cultivated by the lost tribe of Macarena. Its sacred
essence has the youth giving power of the sun.
Chuck Holy Guacamole!
Bambi-Mae I want it!
Aladdin I can offer it to you for only 500 hundred dinars.
Chuck Easy, baby, I'm sure this pineapple must be priceless. We only
have 6000 dinars with us.
Aladdin For only 5000 dinars.
Bambi-Mae Chuck, you will buy me this won't you? With its youthful
properties I'll win Miss Wyoming!
Chuck But honey, you've already got a lifetimes supply of Oil of Olay.
Why this pineapple?
Bambi-Mae Because I'm worth it!
Chuck Well
Bambi-Mae I am worth it aren't I darling?
Chuck Of course.
Bambi-Mae We'll take it! <Grabs pineapple and throws notes at
Aladdin>
James Bondage <has been listening in> Good lord! I must
obtain this pineapple! With its aid, I, James Bondage, international spy, will
be able to look more like Vin Diesel and less like Roger Moore!
<Exit Chuck & Bambi-Mae, followed by James Bondage>
<Wishee Washee calls over to his mate Aladdin>
Wishee Aladdin, the Sacred Pineapple of Eternity! How did you get hold
of that?
Aladdin There is no Sacred Pineapple of Eternity.
Wishee Yes, I understand, there are spies about. Deny everything!
<Peering at audience> I think we're being watched!
Aladdin It's just an ordinary pineapple! I've been trying to shift it
for weeks! Gone pretty rancid.
Wishee Oh. But it was grown on the upper reaches of the Um Bongo, wasn't
it?
Aladdin Yes, Wishee Washee, if you like to think so. What are you doing
here. Shouldn't you be working for my Mum?
Wishee I've just come from her now. I've got a very important message.
<Following exchange will have to be pretty fast>
Aladdin Well?
Wishee No, it wasn't about the well.
Aladdin Well, what then?
Wishee I don't know, you were the one who mentioned wells!
Widow <offstage> Aladdin!
Aladdin Quick, I'd better hide. My mum is looking for me.
<Hides>
Wishee Oh that was it. Aladdin, your mum is looking for you.
<Aladdin slaps head in d'oh motion>
<Widow enters>
Widow Where is that good for nothing layabout son of mine?
Wishee <to Aladdin in hiding place> It's Widow Twankee, and
she's very cross.
Widow <pulling Aladdin by scruff of neck> You can't hide.
Aladdin You look after the stall for me a moment Wishee. I hope you can
manage that, just about. <to Widow> What now mother?
<During the next few lines, Ali B is doing a deal with Wishee over the
stall and gets the
cash>
Widow Remember those inflatable camels you persuaded me to sell in the
sex shop?
Aladdin Hump-o-matic, yes?
Widow Did you (ahem) try them out before we got them in to stock?
Aladdin Oh Mum, you should know by now I don't go in for that kind of
thing. Camels?
Widow Sorry.
Aladdin Giraffes yes, camels never. You see giraffes have a very long
neck
Widow Enough of that!
Aladdin What was the slogan again? Ride our camels and explode with
delight?
Widow Well they certainly exploded alright! I don't suppose you noticed
the word "detonate" written next to the camels' erogenous zones, did you?
Aladdin Bugger. When they said I'd make a killing with this deal, I
didn't know they meant it literally.
Widow We're being sued for hundreds of dinars in damages! Genital
Plastic Surgery doesn't come in cheap, you know!
Aladdin Well, we're not in too bad a situation. I just got hold of 5000
dinars!
Widow 5000 dinars you say? Where did you get that kind of money?
Aladdin Gullible Americans. It was easier than taking sweets off a
baby.
<Steals sweets off Wishee Washee>
See?
<Ali B exits>
Widow And just where did you leave that money Aladdin?
Wishee Aladdin, look what I've just bought!
Aladdin Please god no!
Wishee This cool geezer just offered me some top-quality homegrown, only
5000 dinars an ounce.
Widow <Sniffing it> This is Oregano! You idiot!
Wishee I know. I like Oregano.
Aladdin Now I know why you've always got that moronic grin on your
face
you're a moron
Widow That's enough Aladdin! Your scam with the camels got us in to this
mess. Now just get us out of it!
<Widow and Wishee Washee exits>
Aladdin I don't know. I try my best. How's a dishonest barrow boy like
me supposed to make a living? Those inflatable camels should have been a right
little earner
I sometimes think about chucking it all in. Oh well, I
started out with nothing, but I've still got most of it left!
Well money can't buy you love. Though it can rent it by the hour. I
just wish one day some special person would come along into my life, who might
just be the answer to all my problems!
<Jasmine enters, in disguise, and starts looking about the stall
suspiciously, fingers carrot in suggestive way>
Plant in Audience They're behind you!
Aladdin Oi! Stop that, you! <Grabs Jasmine> Get your hands
off my carrot!
Jasmine It's not what you think!
Aladdin That's what they all say. Who do you think you are? Winona
Ryder, just rehearsing a role in your new film, "Lock Stock and Two Smoking
Camels"? I've a good mind to drag you along to the Sultan. "Tough on crime, cut
off the causes of crime", <cutting off hand gesture> that's what
he says.
Jasmine That's not a good idea
Aladdin Let's see what you look like. Haha! I bet you look like Anne
Widdecombe. Before she became a woman! <Removes mask> Blimey, you
are a woman! I can't believe you're a woman! No, not like that!
You're very womanly! Not that I'm staring at your breasts or anything
I
mean
Jasmine <sweetly> You were wondering how a woman could have
such hideous facial hair?
Aladdin Yes
I mean no! Your facial hair isn't hideous! You must
shave at least twice a day! Uhh
Jasmine Do you want to stop digging now, or shall I hand you another
shovel? A pneumatic drill perhaps?
Aladdin I'm sorry, I always talk like a lemon when I meet a beautiful
woman.
Jasmine Don't worry, I wasn't listening. No! Not like that, I just get a
little distracted when I meet a man with such a fine-looking carrot down his
trousers!
Aladdin <removes carrot from trousers> New security
measure. There are much more impressive ones where that came from.
<With dirty look> Would you like to come home and see my
cucumber?
Jasmine Oh, there's nothing I'd love more, but, you see, I can't!
Aladdin Why not?
Jasmine I'm not who I appear to be.
Aladdin Oh god, not another ladyboy. At least I found out a bit earlier
this time. For years I thought my biology teacher had got it all horribly
wrong
Jasmine <shocked> I'm all woman!
Aladdin That's what Frank always told me
Jasmine Now look here, I'm the daughter of the Sultan!
Aladdin What, the beautiful Princess Jasmine?
Jasmine Yes!
Aladdin Frank used to say that too. Oh the memories.
Jasmine <reveals crown> Now do you believe me?
Aladdin Holy Moses, mother of Mary. It is you! You are as
beautiful as everyone said!
Jasmine Please don't tell anyone you saw me here. My father's very
oppressive - I'm not even allowed out of the palace! I've absolutely no
experience of real life, until yesterday I thought a overdraft was due to
inadequate insulation. And I'm so frightfully frustrated. Oh for a gorgeous
young lad who could whisk me off my feet and show me the world! But my parents
want me to marry some boring Arab Prince. I'd much rather marry someone like
you, but you're just too damn poor.
Aladdin <to audience> Ah well, it seems my only chance at a
bit of happiness is doomed to failure. Oh, how I wish I were richer!
Jasmine <to audience> And how I wish I was a commoner
then I could marry anyone I wanted
<Into song - Pulp: Common People>
Scene 2 - Backstreet in Baghdad
<Enter Narrator>
Narrator But also in Baghdad, there lived one of the most fiendish men
on the planet, a man far worse than Saddam Hussein, and I don't mean George W.
Bush. Not only did he want to rule Baghdad, but also Colchester, North East
Poland and the nicer bits of Manchester. In fact he wanted to rule the world.
Even Anne Robinson and Margaret Thatcher armed with X-ray guns and united in
lesbian solidarity were no match for him. Ladies and Gentlemen, will you please
welcome
<Loud scary music as Ebeneezer enters>
Ebeneezer Don't say my name yer bastard. <Wields knife>
It's my line and my scene. <Narrator exits> Hello boys and girls!
My name is Goode, Ebeneezer Goode, and I'm evil. Sometimes comedy evil,
sometimes dark evil, but above all a thoroughly rotten man with a heart of
pure
granite. I'm the man who got John Major and Edwina Curry together
and who taught Peter Mandelson everything he denies knowing. But that's not
enough for me. I want to be the King, the Kaiser, the numero uno. I want
underpants like West Ham United - on the bottom of the Premier.
Narrator Ok, ok so you're evil. Look, do you have a point?
Ebeneezer This is my point <stabs narrator>
Where was I? Ah I was telling you my evil plan.
Plant Oh no you weren't
Ebeneezer Look, don't piss me off
I'm running out of places to put
the bodies. You see, I have heard of a magical artefact which will give me all
the power I require. I'll be able to rule the world, marry Princess Jasmine and
change Starburst back to Opal Fruits! However, the artefact is heavily guarded
by heavy guards. I would go and get it myself, but I'm a complete coward. I
need someone to do it for me.
Soothsayer,
<Soothsayer enters>
say me a sooth. What fool is brave enough to confront untold peril, but
stupid enough to hand the key to ultimate power over to me?
Soothsayer I dunno, a lad in the market place?
Ebeneezer Excellent. Aladdin the Market place. Funny surname. I must
seek out this Aladdin and proceed with my plan. Nothing will be left to chance
that can't be. Then all power will be mine! Muhahahahahah!
Scene 3 - Sultan's Palace
<Enter Jasmine and Fifi-Trixibelle>
Jasmine
and then he showed me the biggest one I've ever seen, long
thick, turgid, powerful, succulent and
and
green.
Fifi What, has he got syphilis?
Jasmine I was talking about the cucumber, silly. And then he showed me
this enormous marrow. I'd never seen anything like it before.
Fifi There's only two problems with men. Everything they say and
everything they do.
Jasmine Don't be so cynical Fifi-Trixibelle. Not all men are bastards.
Fifi That's right. Some of them are dead.
Jasmine Oh, Fifi, why can't you just be pleased for me for once? Just
because you seem incapable of finding the man of your dreams, it doesn't mean
that I can't find mine.
Fifi The man of my dreams would have to be substantially more impressive
than a barrow boy with two plums and a banana, arranged in a suggestive
formation.
Jasmine If you could only see how loving and caring he is, you wouldn't
say something as vulgar as that. Anyway, it's more like two melons and a broom
handle.
Fifi Look, I might only be a lowly maid, but I know a lot about common
people and I can tell you that he's not worth the effort. That fruit flogger
will have forgotten about you by tomorrow, and if he hasn't, he'll only
remember you for your money.
Jasmine It's not like that. I want to be like him, like a commoner, and
he knows it. When I grow up I want to be the people's princess, the Sultana of
people's hearts. And when I die in a tragic rickshaw accident in Tehran, I want
Elton John singing at my funeral. It wouldn't take much to satisfy me. I don't
want money, just someone who loves me.
Sultana <offstage> Jasmine, dear, have you finished you
toilette yet? The suitors will be arriving soon. They won't want to see you in
a state of undress.
Plant Oh yes they will!
Jasmine Shit, it's mother. I'd forgotten that she'd invited them today.
Quick, Fifi, think of an excuse! <louder> Mother, I can't meet
them today as
Fifi You're dead?
Jasmine I'm dead. <Gives Fifi a dirty look. Fifi shrugs>
Sultana Oh Jasmine, I told you not to wear that. Your Yves-Saint-Laurent
Spring Collection looks far better. Come on, let me do it for you.
<She produces a completely black cloth which she wraps around
Jasmine, then a smaller one, which she puts round Jasmine's head, completely
covering her, including her eyes>
That's much better. Prince Omar Ibrahim of Qatar won't be able to resist your
feminine charms with that outfit on.
Fifi Though I be but a humble serving wench, with nay an opinion of mine
own, might I be so bold as to suggest that the Princess's face be visible?
Sultana I don't recall asking for your opinion, Fifi-Trixibelle. No, my
mind is quite made up. You shall wear this, your Yves-Saint-Laurent Spring
Collection for the ceremony today.
Jasmine Mmmmmm!!! <She waves her hands>
Fifi Or at least make sure she's able to breathe
<Jasmine faints>
Sultana Oh dear, she's fainted. Today's young are so weak and
feeble. I sometimes wonder what we're going to do with her. Fifi-Trixibelle,
bring some water.
Fifi As you wish, ma'am. Though it has been said that every time a
cigarette is lit from a candle, a sailor dies. <She gets some
water>
Sultana Comments like that are neither appropriate, funny or relevant to
the plot.
Fifi Sorry, ma'am.
<Sultana unwraps Jasmine's headscarf and puts some water on her
forehead. Sultan enters>
Sultan Aha! Captured another one, have we?
Sultana Another what, dear?
Sultan Another Al-Quaeda terrorist, of course. Who else would be lying
on our floor dressed all in black waiting for our guards to come and drag him
off to the cells, before being hideously tortured by some of the world's most
painful feather dusters?
Sultana That's our daughter dear.
Sultan Joined the infidel, has she? I always said she'd come to no
good.
Fifi-Trixibelle, take Princess Jasmine to the bathroom and revive her. The
gentlemen will be here in ten minutes.
<Sultana, Fifi-Trixibelle and Jasmine exit. Two guards enter struggling
to drag Bambi-Mae and Chuck across the stage to the Sultan>
Sultan Ah, the suitors are here early. Excellent. And such fine stout
fellows. Admittedly I expected them to be a little more formally
dressed
Guard 1 These are no suitors sir.
Guard 2 They're spies, here to bring down your mighty empire!
Guard 1 We found them hanging around the palace entrance.
Chuck We were just trying to find the nearest McDonalds
Sultan <ignores Chuck> Spies eh? Well you know what we do
with spies here. <Addresses guards> Phil, Grant, drag them down to
the imperial dungeon, put them with the Kurds, out of my whey. I want them
tortured to within an inch of their lives, and then two inches further! Then
take the bodies and cut them in little bits and feed them to the ravens
and
Guard 2 <interrupts> American spies, sir.
Sultan Americans you say? <Bellowing, angry> AMERICANS,
HERE IN MY PALACE!!!?!?!
<Everyone holds their breath>
Sultan <brighter voice> Well why didn't you say! Terrific
race the Americans. Big cities, big cars and great big arses. Guards, escort
them to the Saeed Mubarak Memorial Suite at once, and dress them in the finest
silks in the orient.
Bambi-Mae Gee, thanks!
Chuck But where can I get a burger
?
Sultan At six o'clock tonight you are invited to join me for a feast in
your honour, over which we will discuss important current world events, such as
the ludicrous decision to axe Sex and the City, and the merits and demerits of
the latest Backstreet Boys album.
Bambi-Mae Hot dog! You guys are out of this world. Hey, my name is
Bambi-Mae, and this is my friend Chuck. We're <hand on heart>
American!
Chuck As a token of our appappreciation of your hostipality, I'd like to
offer you this magical pineapple.
Bambi-Mae The Pineapple of Eternity.
Sultan <To audience> Must be an American
thing.
<To Americans> I thank you for your kindness, Americans.
<Places pineapple on the table> Allow me to introduce myself. I am
the Sultan of Baghdad. Sultan Pepper. Now if you would care to retire to your
rooms, I will see you at dinner. I have business to attend to.
<Americans and Guards leave. Sultana returns with Fifi>
Sultana Who were those people dear?
Sultan They were two fine young Americans. Baghdad has no truer friend
than the U S of A and it is right that each and every American should feel
welcome in our country.
Sultana But they bombed the library last night, and the orphanage.
Sultan God damn it. That's where I hid my secret arsenal of exploding
underwear. Now how am I gonna wipe out the company responsible for axing Sex
and the City?
Sultana Why do you keep sucking up to the Americans? They are about to
invade after all.
Sultan Because America is the best god damn country in the world!
<American flag draped over back of stage>
<American National Anthem starts to play in the background>
Imagine, my dear Sultana, walking through the bazaar, a McDonalds on every
street corner, multiple Starbucks in each and every shopping Mall, enormous
chrome Cadillacs doing 27 meters to the gallon. That's my idea of a global
economy! Just think, Jerry Springer, Friends, Frasier, 14 year-olds toting
semi-automatic weapons, Britney Spears, James Bond films
<Bondage enters dramatically>
Bondage Aha Sultan! That's where you're wrong! I think you'll find Bond
films are Anglo-American!
Sultan Who are you and what the hell are doing in my palace?
Bondage I am James Bondage, international spy, licence to tickle. I have
been appointed by the United Nations to search for Weapons of Mass Destruction.
I have received information from a reliable source that you may be hiding an
inordinate number of feather dusters, elastic bands and soft cushions.
Sultan What, these? You can have them. Here. <Gives a small box to
Bondage>
Bondage Yes. After all we wouldn't want you to tickle the president,
causing him to open his mouth to an oncoming pretzel would we? But now you
have handed over the weapons there will be no war!
Everyone Hurrah!
Sultana <Whispers into Sultan's Ear> Hmm
<Eyes
up Bondage (in a non-sexual way)> Are you married?
Bondage Not this week. <Eyebrows> Why do you ask?
Sultana To emphasise the new found friendship between our two nations,
we have decided we would like you, an American, to marry our daughter, Princess
Jasmine!
Bondage Now hold on a second here. I'm not American and I've never even
met her. There is absolutely, categorically, no way on this earth I am
ever
<Jasmine walks in, Bondage eyes her up and down>
NOT going to marry this beautiful princess! Oh she's gorgeous, long live
America, country of my birth
Jasmine <Looks a bit suspicious> Who's this then?
Sultan Allow me to introduce you. Jasmine, this is your new
husband-to-be, James Bondage.
Jasmine Excuse me, but I don't recall being consulted about this.
Fifi Though I be but a humble serving wench, with nay an opinion of mine
own, but isn't there a queue of Arab princes waiting outside to court the
Princess? I heard that Sheikh Yerbooti sacrificed thirteen wives and his
favourite camel to be first in the queue.
Bondage Do you mean those suspicious looking gentlemen outside. I've had
them all arrested for looking foreign <pause> without a licence.
Sorry.
Sultana And what have I told you about having opinions Fifi? People who
clean their teeth with the same brush they use to clean the palace toilets
should keep their mouth shut.
Fifi But I always run it under the tap first.
Sultana That's quite enough of your cheek.
Jasmine Leave her alone, mother. <To Bondage> I don't hold
anything against you sir, and nor do I want to. I'm afraid the man I want to
marry is a working class lad with a carrot down his trousers
for security
reasons you understand.
Sultana You'll do nothing of the sort, my dear. Marry a working class
boy? That's preposterous - imagine the review in Hello magazine, "Beautiful
Princess Marries Filthy Lowlife Scum!".
Sultan No, the decision has been made. You will marry Mr Bondage when
the clock strikes twelve on the morrow.
Jasmine Oh no I won't!
Sultan Oh yes you will! <Jasmine storms out, ranting under her
breath>
Sultan Right, that's settled then. Let this marriage be the symbol of
the determination of our two countries never to go to war again.
<American National Anthem plays again and the characters sing along.
Bondage looks confused and sings the wrong words>
Scene 4 - Ebeneezer Meets Aladdin
<Ebeneezer is wearing a fake beard, leaning against the back wall,
reading the paper>
Ebeneezer <lowers paper> Muhahahaha! Excellent. My evil
masterplan is working out perfectly. I have discovered that Aladdin is a
impoverished barrow boy who lives in this disreputable washhouse behind me.
I'm sure with my vast intellect and trustworthy beard I can trick him into
working for me. Well, as I always said, the way to a man's heart is through his
chest cavity with a chainsaw! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! Aha! The young vagabond is coming
this way now! <Returns to shifty posture leaning against wall>
<Aladdin runs on stage, and stops half way across, out of
breath>
Excuse me
Aladdin Look, here's 20p for a cup of tea.
Ebeneezer Thank you. No, don't go, Aladdin.
Aladdin How do you know my name, stranger?
Ebeneezer Well, you see, it's like this
I'm your long lost uncle.
Uncle Ebeneezer.
Aladdin What, the one who died in a tragic sofabed accident?
Ebeneezer No
the other one.
Aladdin But that's wonderful! I haven't seen you for years! You must
have had such an ordeal! How've you been?
Ebeneezer Er
fine. Now shut up and listen. I have a proposition for
you.
Aladdin That's very sweet. <pointed look to audience> But I
have a rule about mixing relatives and pleasure.
Ebeneezer Not that kind of proposition! What I'm talking about is
very lucrative!
Aladdin <shocked and angry> My body is not for sale!
Ebeneezer No, you pillock, I have a non-sex-related idea that could make
you very rich very quickly.
Aladdin I've heard this one before
.
Ebeneezer No you haven't. I need you to fetch an oil-lamp for me, from a
cave in the desert.
Aladdin <not sure if he understands> An oil-lamp? Well, I'm
sure we could find you a nice cheap one in the market if that's all you want.
Ebeneezer No, you see, Aladdin. This is no ordinary lamp.
Aladdin <sarcastic> What? Is it the legendary oil-lamp of
power? Manufactured in the fires of Mount Ikea?
Ebeneezer <flatly> No, nothing like that. This lamp is
nothing but a horrible rusty old piece of rubbish with no conceivable use at
all. A bit like the Conservative Party.
Aladdin <a little confused> Oh, ok
And what's in it
for me?
Ebeneezer Well, here's the interesting part. The cave in which the lamp
is hidden is full of gold. And you can take as much gold as you like, as long
as you get me the lamp. Sound fair to you?
Aladdin Why yes, Uncle! It sounds absolutely great! Just one thing - why
aren't you going in yourself? I mean, that way you could have the lamp
and the gold!
Ebeneezer Erm
. I'm afraid of the dark.
Aladdin Why don't you just take a torch?
Ebeneezer It's broken. <to audience> Haha! He'll never see
through that one.
Aladdin And one more thing, has anyone ever actually come out of this
cave alive? I mean, this is a panto after all.
Ebeneezer That depends on your definition of alive. But I'm sure a
young nimble boy like you will be able to avoid the gaze of
. The BEAST!
Aladdin <looking pleased with himself> I suppose so.
You're probably right.
Ebeneezer So, my boy, are we agreed?
Aladdin Hang on - let me think about this. So you want me to go into
some cave in the desert, out of which no one has ever come alive, and get you a
lamp. In return for this, I can take all the gold I like, but it is imperative
that you end up with the lamp. And the reason you're not going in to get
it yourself is that you're afraid of the dark? Let me think
. No!
Ebeneezer Damn it!
<Instant Blackout>
Scene 5 - Suds and Studs
<Props/scenery on stage: washing machine, ironing board, washing
baskets, buckets with soapy bubbles and sponges>
<Widow Twankee is behind washing machine with legs sticking out>
Widow Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, I've got a
wonderful feeling, I didn't realise it had three settings!
<Gets
up from behind machine and spots the audience>
<speaking to
audience> Oh, I thought I was alone. Just doing a spot of pipe-cleaning.
I am Widow Twankee, proprietor of Suds and Studs, Baghdad's only launderette
come sex shop come
well just come. There are certain advantages to
combining the two businesses. We make a fortune from the soap dispenser.
<speaking directly to a guy in the first row>
Anything
I can do you for you, sir?
<Line in response if he heckles>
<Repeat what he said> I see
well that'll take a bit of
preparation.
<If they say nothing (more likely)>
Shy
are we?
<continue from here>
Well, absolute
confidentiality is assured sir and I can do a special discount for your first
time. Don't blush, sir. I didn't mean your first time with anyone, just with
me. Oh, it is your first time! That would be embarrassing if anyone found out!
Your secret is safe with me and these
other 200 people.
Still it's not
all an easy life. The work can be backbreaking. I have to do everything
single-handed
although most of the time one hand is enough. But right
now, Aladdin is supposed to be here giving my washboard a good rub. Oh stop
giggling at the back. He works strictly in the laundry side of the business.
Anyway, I'd better get on before my work gets on top of me.
<Wishee Washee enters with another load of laundry, piled up high so he
can't see, bumps into Widow>
Widow Later sir, later! Oh. It's you Wishee Washee. I was expecting
Angus Deayton.
Wishee Where do you want these dirty things?
Widow Oh, leave them over there between the dildos and the lubricant.
Wishee Isn't a dildo a small Australian rodent?
Widow No dear, dildos have a very special purpose. You wouldn't want to
use a rodent
unless you're Freddie Star.
Wishee Huh?
Widow Oh forget it! I wish I could.
Wishee Forget? That reminds me of something.
Widow What?
Wishee I don't know. I forgot.
Widow Oh Wishee! You're almost as bad as my layabout son Aladdin.
Wishee I've got it now. A message from Aladdin. He says that Angus is
still waiting upstairs and he's desperate to see you.
Widow You should have said earlier. I can't keep him tied up all day!
Well, maybe I can
<Widow exits. Aladdin enters from other side, sneakily>
Aladdin Well done, Wishee, you got her out of the way. Now we can have
our fun.
<Super-Soaker thrown in from off stage>
<2nd smaller Super-Soaker thrown on, Wishee Washee catches it>
Wishee It's not fair. Mine's smaller than yours.
Aladdin I'd keep quiet about that if I were you! You won't have any luck
with the girls if they know your weapon isn't up to scratch.
Wishee Why would I want to scratch my weapon?
Aladdin I'll explain when you're older.
Wishee I hate it when you talk to me as if I'm a baby.
Aladdin <patronising> Ahh, diddums. Baby want a sponge
bath?
Wishee Like this? <Chucks sponge>
<Smallish sponge fight>
Aladdin I know what. Let's resolve this like real men. Ready? On
five
<Five steps. Bondage enters stage centre. Then they turn round and throw
sponges at him>
Aladdin Who are you?
Bondage The names Bondage. James Bondage.
Aladdin <eyeing his outfit> Looks like you've come to the
right place.
Bondage Aha! The Americans were right! There is white
powder in this building!
Aladdin What do you expect? It is a launderette.
Wishee And a sex shop. Can I interest you in a nice pair of handcuffs?
Bondage Enough! I am the UN Weapons Inspector.
Aladdin You're not going to inspect my weaponry!
Bondage You can't stop me. I demand unrestricted access!
<Widow enters. Aladdin and Wishee Washee dive behind a prop of some
sort>
Widow You know, I really shouldn't let punters take speed during
business
he lasted all of 20 seconds. Ah, poor Angus. What's all this
mess? And who are you, sir? Looks like you had a nasty accident.
Bondage It wasn't me, it was these two hooligans.
Widow I should have known it! Aladdin! Wishee Washee!
Wishee <revealing the hiding place with both of them in it>
Yes, Widow Twankee?
Aladdin Wishee, we were hiding. Do you never learn?
Widow You're the one who never learns, Aladdin! You still don't know how
to activate the spin cycle on the Pleasuretron. You're hopeless - even that
wind-powered fan you got me for Christmas doesn't work.
Aladdin Fine! I know when I'm not wanted. You can keep your sodding
launderette. I'm leaving; off for a new life; off to make my
fortune!
There's a cave with my name on it! I'll see you when I'm rich!
<Aladdin exits. Wishee Washee starts mopping up>
Widow Aladdin! Oh, I do love him really, but he's such a difficult boy.
I hope I wasn't too rude to him... <sobs a tear>
Bondage Let me comfort you, my dear lady.
<They hug, Widow sobs melodramatically>
Widow Sir! I'm so sorry. And we haven't even been introduced.
<Break off hug>
Bondage The names Bondage. James Bondage. Licence to tickle,
poke, and switch the lids of the salt cellar and the sugar.
Widow I thought James Bondage had a licence to kill?
Bondage Yes, I had one. President Clinton got MI6 to revoke that
after I left my exploding cigar in the oval office.
But enough about me, what's your name?
Widow The name's Twankee. Widow Twankee. License to soak, spin, scrub
and rub you up the right way. <Pause> Oh, where are my manners?
You're soaked right through! You must let me help you out of those wet clothes.
I'd love to give them a spin in my Zanussi.
Bondage Zanussi? I think you should experience my Hot Point!
Widow Well... this is a <eyebrows> hard water
area.
Bondage Oh, my dear, I'm afraid I must depart. I am on a mission of the
utmost impotence.
Widow You disappoint me!
Bondage It is vital for Queen and Country. I have weapons to inspect on
the other side of Baghdad.
Widow Oh James! I haven't seen a weapon since my husband died? When will
you return?
Bondage Just as soon as the situation becomes less impotent, darling.
Widow Adieu, James!
Bondage Do not fear! James Bondage will return!
<Exit Bondage>
<Song - Beach Boys: Good Vibrations, sung by (to be decided, when cast,

Scene 6 - Cave
Part 1 - Outside the Cave
<Ebeneezer and Aladdin are "stage walking">
<Cactus brought on to indicate desert>
<A sign saying "to cave", pointing off stage-left>
Ebeneezer I'm so glad you've finally seen sense my boy. Do you know what
you have to do?
Aladdin Yes, uncle, as far as I remember it's very simple. All I have to
do is go into the cave, try to avoid my imminent and almost certain death, grab
all the gold I can, and make sure I get hold of a
horrible-old-rusty-lamp-with-no-use-at-all, which I'm to give to you. Are you
sure it's safe?
Ebeneezer Yes it is, mainly, but there's one hidden danger I didn't warn
you about.
<Dramatic pause>
It's the vampire watermelons.
Aladdin The vampire watermelons?
Ebeneezer Yes. Many an unwary treasure-hunter has fallen foul of their
evil treachery. So succulent in appearance, yet so deadly in intent.
Aladdin But how can a watermelon possibly hurt you?
Ebeneezer They suck back.
Aladdin Oh. I
see
Ebeneezer Here we are! So if you just want to run along into the cave
now, there's a good boy, I'll see you in a few hours and we can go and
celebrate in the Corrie Tap.
Aladdin Oh goodie! <Walks towards cave, then turns round>
Actually, Uncle, there's something I've been wanting to ask you.
Ebeneezer <impatient> What?
Aladdin Well, you see, I've been wondering: what do you actually want
with a horrible-rusty-old-lamp-with-no-use-at-all, anyway? I mean, there's
enough gold in that cave to make Fort Knox look like a scouser's piggy bank.
And you'll be content with some poxy lamp! Why?
Ebeneezer Oh, that's because it contains an all-powerful genie
Aladdin A what?!
Ebeneezer Oh, er, I'm
I'm wearing a cotton-wool bikini. And if you
don't get into that cave now I'll show you. <Starts moving
seductively towards Aladdin> Alladsikins, would you like to see uncle
Ebsy in a cotton-wool bikini?
Aladdin Aaaargh! <Screams and runs off stage left>
Ebeneezer Muhahahahahahahaha! Such a simple mind. In a few hours that
innocent kid will be falling over himself to hand me the key to ultimate power,
and then the world will me mine! Nyahaha! Nyahaha! Nyahahahaa!
Plant Booooo!
Ebeneezer Oh, shut up. When I've got the lamp, you'll be the first to be
changed into something unsavoury. We need a new bog-brush in my evil palace and
it looks like you've got the hair to suit it.
<Sign in front of entrance saying "Keep Out - This Means You">
Aladdin Keep out - this means me? How did they know I was coming?
<Enter Security Guards>
Security 1 Can I see your student card please.
Aladdin Sorry, it's a bit chipped at the corner.
Security 1 I'm not allowed to let you in mate.
Aladdin Well can I get someone to sign me in?
Security 1 I'll have to check with DAVE. DAVE, <who is standing
right next to him> can he get someone to sign him in?
Security 2 I'm not sure. I'll have to check with Greg. <To
Security 1> Greg, can he get someone to sign him in? <
etc>
Aladdin Sod this!
<Aladdin walks past Security Guards and exits>
Security 1 OK. You can come in. Oh.
<Walks into cave>
<Blackout>
Part 2 - Inside the Cave
<Sign is brought on, saying "cave">
<There is also a table with a lamp on it, and various cardboard cut-outs
of gold things in the background>
<Aladdin runs on, stage-right>
Aladdin Uncles, eh? Who'd have `em? One minute they're asking you to
recover some bloody useless rusty old lamp from a cave in the middle of the
desert, and the next they're threatening you with indecent
exposure!
<Sees lamp on table>
Ah! And here's the lamp!
Just what I've been looking for! Golly, it is horrible and rusty, isn't it?!
<Picks it up>
There's something written on this
stone.
<Reading out from article>
"Baghdad Ministry of
Magic, quarter to two"
<corrects himself> Oh sorry, shit,
"1345 - AD. Thus it is decreed that the
horrible-rusty-old-lamp-with-no-use-at-all, home of Levi Genie, should be
placed in the depths of an impenetrable cave for his own good. The public is
warned that any person who rubs the side of the lamp will release the genie,
giving themselves three wishes, but only three wishes. This is in accordance
with the Genies and Pieces of Lighting Equipment Act 1066".
<To
audience>
Whoa! Hang on, there's more.
<Reading out from
article again>
"Please note that as a security measure, anyone who
removes the lamp will be trapped in the cave by means of a rock fall. I hope
they don't realise that they can easily use the genie to wish themselves out of
the cave, thus rendering this precaution useless. No, don't write that, you
fool. Or that. Stop writing!"
<To audience again>
Odd
message. Shit, I'm gonna be trapped in this cave.
<Sound of
rock fall>
Aladdin Oh well, never mind. I've got the lamp, and, with any luck, I've
got a genie. Let's see if this thing works. And, if there are any smart-arses
in the audience, let's not have any "rub your magic lamp" gags, ok?
<Starts rubbing>
<Some form of drum roll, or something>
<Drum roll stops, and Levi Genie walks on, stage left>
Levi Da-dah!
Aladdin Is that it? No puff of smoke? No eerie lighting effect? No big
bang?
Levi No, sonnyjim, this is the Avon Gorge room, not the bleedin' Royal
Opera House. That's all you get, I'm afraid.
Aladdin <to audience> Well, I suppose it's all you
can expect when the society goes and blows the entire budget on booze for the
Christmas after show party.
<to genie> So you must be the Genie!
Levi Precisely. My name is Genie. Levi Genie, but you can call me Levi.
I am the legendary Genie of the Lamp: always feared, never trusted and very
slightly deaf.
Aladdin Did you say Deaf?
Levi Nice chap. Met him once. Rather macabre, always wears black.
Impeccably punctual, dontcha know?
Aladdin Ok, I think I get the picture.
Levi Rickshaw? What rickshaw? I haven't seen one of those for years! Can
I have a ride?!
Aladdin Oh God, this is getting nowhere. I wish you could hear
properly
<Bing!>
Levi That would make life a lot easier. Hey I can hear you! That's so
kind of you to spend one of your wishes on me!
Aladdin <to audience> Bollocks! Better not waste the other
two.
<to genie> I'm just a generous sort of guy. So how
did you end up in that lamp? And why were you chronically deaf?
Levi It's a long story.
Aladdin Oh, don't bother then.
Levi <ignores him> Long ago, I was shacked up with a
lady-genie, called Jean. Being genies, you can just imagine the sex we had.
Unrestricted by the bounds of stamina, gender or the Geneva convention on human
rights, it
well it was fantastic. Problem was, she was a squealer.
Aladdin Way too much info, Levi.
Levi It permanently damaged my hearing. And when she tried to wish it
away I accidentally turned her into a herring. After that, our lovemaking was
never quite the same. We drifted apart, and eventually she moved out of my life
and out of my lamp. Last I heard she was living in a semi-detached ring in
North Africa. I miss her terribly.
Aladdin Look, I'll tell you what. If you make it so I can marry Princess
Jasmine, I'll try my hardest to get you and Jean back together. Does that
sound good to you?
Levi Yes, it does. And anyway, I have to do what you tell me. You were
the one that found the lamp, so you own me!
Aladdin Huh?
Levi Let me put it another way
<Song - You Are The One That Owns Me (Chesney Hawkes: The One And
Only)>
ACT II
Scene 7a - The Proposal
<Enter Narrator>
Narrator Welcome back those of you who could be bothered to return for
yet another 45 minutes of painful puns and single entendres. For anyone who is
a little confused by the story so far, let me make things perfectly opaque.
Aladdin's three wishes were granted by the Chesney-Hawkes-Impersonating Genie
Levi. He was magically whisked off to the Sultan's Palace, a little richer and
a lot hornier. The only thing on his mind was finding Princess Jasmine.
<Jasmine and Fifi enter, followed by Aladdin>
Aladdin <running over to Jasmine> Jasmine, there's
something I want to tell you.
Fifi What are you doing here? If the Sultan finds you he'll shove that
famous cucumber of yours where the sun don't shine.
Aladdin I want to talk to Jasmine.
Fifi What about?
Aladdin Privately.
Fifi Go on, just a little clue
please
you know that you want
to. <Starts to dance around Aladdin>
Aladdin Grrr. Will you please just leave me alone.
Fifi Ok, I get the hint. People these days are so rude to humble serving
wenches with nay an opinion of their own. <Shakes head and walks
off>
Jasmine Oh Aladdin, you came to see me! <Pleased> But we
can't see each other any more, you know that. My parents wouldn't allow it,
you're a commoner.
Aladdin But that's where you're wrong, my love. I'm now filthy, stinking
rich. These shoes cost [[sterling]]2000!
Jasmine But they look exactly the same as your old shoes.
Aladdin That's what's so cunning.
Jasmine <slightly confused pause> Is there some reason you
came to see me, or just to show me your shoes?
Aladdin What I'm trying to say, my darling little Arabian flower is that
I want to be the bee to your pollen, the butterfly to your nectar, the honey
monster to your sugar puffs <Gets down on one knee>Will you marry
me, my darling, loveliest Jasmine?
Jasmine <pause> No.
Aladdin What?!? But I'm rich now.
Jasmine I'm already engaged to Bondage and my parents have threatened to
cut off my Samaka if I pull out of this marriage. They would never break off
an engagement for such a fickle reason as love. Wrong colour camel yes, love
no.
And anyway, you're not a prince or an international man of mystery. You might
be rich, but you're just a rich commoner.
Aladdin I suppose that's true. Did I mention I'm hung like a donkey?
Jasmine You're right, there must be a way. We'll find a way, damn it. I
love you, Aladdin and I want your babies. <They kiss like a pair of
woolly mammoths>
Fifi Oh, did I miss anything important?
Scene 7b - The Wedding
Narrator And so, with the aid of some scissors, two monkeys and
a barrel of peanut butter, Jasmine was able to prove that Bondage was not in
fact American at all. When it was pointed out to the disappointed Sultan that
Aladdin once had bought a Prince Album, thus making him royalty, he was more
than happy to engage yet another virile young man to his favorite and in fact
only daughter.
Several minutes later, it was to be a wedding neither of
them would ever forget
<Jasmine and Aladdin are dressed in glittering (cough) robes, facing the
altar. The priest is behind the altar staring at the Bride's breasts. The
congregation sit at the edges of the stage>
Priest Dearly beloved, we are gathered in the sight of our Lord to
witness the joining in holy matrimony of this man and this rather foxy young
lady. <Looks at Jasmine, quietly> Hey baby how about it?
<Jasmine looks shocked>
If anyone here present
knows of any reason why these two lovely individuals cannot be wedded today,
speak now or forever hold your peace
Widow <To Bondage> I'd certainly like to hold your piece
Bondage!
Bondage I've an itchy trigger finger. I could go off at any moment.
<they titter childishly>
Priest Silence in my church motherfuckers!
<Stunned
silence>
No objections? Damn! What about you, lady bride? Do you
really want to spend the rest of your wedded week with this? <points at
Aladdin>
Why have a korma when you can have a vindaloo? When the Lord
made me, he made me hot, baby, ooh!
Jasmine God no! I'd rather marry the Elephant Man than a jumped-up
cleric like you.
Priest I sure love a challenge
<Regains composure>
So do you, Aladdin Archibald Imran
Twankee take the beautiful and bewitching Jasmine Emmanuelle Sergeant Pepper to
be your lawful wedded wo-man?
Aladdin I do!
Priest And do you Jasmine Pepper, take this old tosser as your lawful
wedded husband?
Jasmine I do. <Angry stare at priest>
Priest You don't want me then? I'll give it six months before you'll be
crawling back to the love machine
..
<Jasmine and Aladdin ignore him and snog>
Ahem.
<Jasmine and Aladdin pay attention again>
By the power
invested in me I pronounce you man and wife! <under his breath> if
you can call that a man
Jasmine Oh darling, we're married! It's the best day of my life!
Let's christen the matrimonial bed. And then every other bed in the
palace
<Aladdin drags Jasmine off stage>
<Police
enter>
Police 1 Judas Priest, I'm arresting you for the future murder of Jimmy
Savile.
Priest But he's still alive.
Police 2 Tell that to the little wooden balls, sunshine.
<They drag him off>
Sultana Fifi, the refreshments.
<Fifi leaves>
Sultan <To everyone> Now friends, tonight we not only
celebrate the union of Aladdin and Jasmine, but also the end of hostilities
between our country and America, for which we are forever indebted to Mr
Bondage here.
<Applause for Bondage>
To commemorate this historic occasion, we present to you, at great expense,
America's hottest new boy band. Ladies and gentlemen, will you please put your
hands together for
E-mascul-8!
<Enter three members of E-mascul-8>
Band 1 Hey guys it's great to be here tonight in
.
Baghdad!
<Cheers, followed by power cut>
<Sounds of fighting>
<When lights return, Band 1 has been replaced by Ebeneezer,
who's dressed in a very unconvincing disguise>
Plant Booooo! <if no one else does>
Sultan Sorry about that, just a little power cut. Take it away
boys!!
<Mime 30 seconds of a cheesy boy band song>
<Chorus section, all mime. Then verse where Ebeneezer mimes
badly>
<Tape dies, and Ebeneezer keeps singing>
<Everyone applauds>
<Fifi returns with tray of coffee and dates>
Fifi Coffee and Dates everyone!
<Everyone goes over to Fifi, and faces away from the Altar where the lamp
is>
Ebeneezer <to audience>
Haha! With my cunning disguise I have infiltrated the Palace. Now I
will take back the lamp, and the world will be mine!
<Eb slowly tip-toes towards lamp>
<Wishee looks at Eb, and Eb stops moving>
Wishee Hmm
that lead singer looked familiar, he reminds me of
oh what's that criminal called?
<Wishee looks at Levi. Eb moves again>
<This continues throughout next lines>
Levi Michael Barrymore?
Wishee No no! It's that one that got away with that murder!
Levi Michael Barrymore?
Widow It's on the tip of my tongue
Bondage Something usually is.
Sultan Don't be ridiculous Wishee, that's the famous PJ Timberflake!
Don't you remember him from such hits as Shag Me Do and Press Your Lumps
Against Mine?
<By this point Ebeneezer is just about to grab the lamp, but is stopped
by the next line>
Fifi Oh my god! <Jade from Big Brother Style> PJ is
that really you?
Ebeneezer Erm
yes. <Unconvincingly>
Fifi Though I be but a humble serving wench, with nay an opinion
of mine own, I fancy the pants off you!!
Ebeneezer <looking her up and down> Actually you're not so
bad yourself.
Fifi Ooh. Come here my crooning Casanova
Ebeneezer Oh my beautiful buxom bumpkin!
<they snog>
Widow Talk about a whirlwind romance. That was the fastest act of
coupling I've seen since Thomas the Tank Engine got shunted from behind by the
fat controller.
Bondage On that point, let us away to bed. Tonight it's your turn to be
a weapon inspector!
Scene 8 - The Sex Scene
<Enter Narrator>
Narrator By nine thirty, it's almost ten o'clock. Everyone in the palace
is asleep. Well, nearly everyone. Somewhere in the upper reaches of the palace,
a great beast has been aroused. <Exit Narrator>
Part 1 - Aladdin and Jasmine's room offstage right
Aladdin Oh Jasmine, alone at last my love. Let us consummate our
marriage!
Jasmine Shh, don't speak, darling. Take me!
<wait 3 seconds>
Aladdin Aaahhh! That was wonderful. <starts to snore very
loudly>
< Sultana enters>
Sultana Well done darling, Daddy and I are so proud!
Jasmine Mother, GO AWAY!
Sultana Sorry dear <Sultana exits>
Jasmine I love you Aladdin. Oh he's asleep. Oh well, I need a drink.
<Jasmine leaves>
Narrator And in other rooms also, other couples were taking
advantage of the humid night and surprisingly paper-thin walls
Part 2 - Sultan and Sultana's Room Offstage Left
Sultana <cracking a whip>You've been a naughty boy
Sultan, a very, very naughty boy.
Sultan Oh Sultana!
Sultana <cracking whip again> So you want some more, eh?
Sultan Our share prices have gone up again.
Sultana Were you even listening to me? You just don't seem to find me
sexy anymore.
Sultan No that's not true, we made love last month. I remember, I had to
sleep in the wet patch.
Sultana No, that was just when you wet the bed
Sultan Oh.
Narrator Blinded by her lust, Fifi Trixibelle has failed to realise that
her partner is not the famous PJ Timberflake, but is in fact the crazy
homicidal lunatic Ebeneezer.
Part 3 - Ebeneezer and Fifi's Room
Ebeneezer Fifi
. Press Your Lumps Against Mine!
Fifi PJ darling, Shag Me Do!
<Behind a sheet you can see their shadows>
<Ebeneezer and Fifi are having wild sex>
<After a while Ebeneezer starts to use the pineapple>
<Fifi falls asleep>
<Jasmine comes in>
Ebeneezer Well, hello there Jasmine.
Jasmine Oh sorry Ebeneezer, I got the wrong room.
Ebeneezer That's ok, I don't mind. <seductively> I'm in
bed
Jasmine I didn't realise you were trying to sleep
Ebeneezer I wasn't. <seductively> I'm naked.
Jasmine Are you hot?
Ebeneezer I'm very hot.
Jasmine Shall I open the window? <goes to open the
window>
Ebeneezer <exasperated> Oh come on, don't play innocent
with me sweetie, we both know you want me.
<Fifi wakes up>
Fifi What's going on? Oops. Hello my lady.
Ebeneezer <rubbing his hands> Oh goody, a threesome.
Fifi <angry> PJ! This is the Princess! Aren't I
enough for you?
Jasmine Fifi. How could you? Just look at him! And what were you doing
with that pineapple?
Fifi You're just jealous!
Ebeneezer <to jasmine> I'll leave you two girls to it.
<to audience>I'm just going off to get some
baby oil
<dirty laugh>
<Ebeneezer sneaks out>
<Blackout. Clear stage>
Lights up. Only Ebeneezer on stage. The lamp is left on a table, Ebeneezer
picks it up>
Ebeneezer Muhahaha!!! All power is mine! <He rubs the lamp and
Levi appears>
Levi Da-da! Oh, Aladdin, you look terrible! You do realize you've used
up all your wishes?
Ebeneezer Genie! You will serve me and grant me three wishes!
Levi Wait, you're not Aladdin
Piss off! You're not getting any
wishes from me, beardy.
Ebeneezer Ah, but there's the rub. <Reads from lamp> This
label specifically states wash at 40 degrees
and! That anyone who rubs the
lamp will get three wishes, and that includes me!
Levi Ah. Bollocks.
<Aladdin enters half asleep>
Aladdin Hello buttercup
<sees Ebeneezer, and wakes up>
Oh, it's you, Uncle Ebeneezer. Have you been introduced? Levi, this is
Ebeneezer, Uncle Ebeneezer, this is Levi Genie. <Thinks for a second>
What's going on?
Ebeneezer Oh Aladdin. Such a trusting fool. I'm not your uncle and I
never will be! I am Ebeneezer Goode, arch-villain and criminal extraordinaire.
Did you think I'd allow you to keep that lamp all to yourself?
Aladdin But I am master of the lamp. I was the one who rubbed it
first.
Ebeneezer Tough titties, it's my lamp now! No one will wrench it from my
grasp!
Aladdin Levi, can't you do something to help?
Levi Sorry, Aladdin, I can't. He has rubbed the lamp. Now he is the one
that owns me.
Ebeneezer Muhahahahahaaa! Now, Genie, for my first wish, I want Aladdin
to be banished to the icy wastes of Colchester and his marriage to Princess
Jasmine to be declared void.
<to audience> I know that's technically two wishes,
but I said them very quickly.
<Bing!>
And for my second wish, I want complete control over the Sultan! Then
I'll be able to marry his beautiful daughter Jasmine! Muhahahahahahahaha!
<Bing!>
I'll keep the third wish for later. You never know when it might come in
useful.
Levi Your wishes are granted. I'm so sorry Aladdin.
Ebeneezer I'm not! Goodbye Aladdin, fair thee well in your new life in
Colchester! Muhahaha!!!
Scene 9 - In the Desert
Narrator enters>
Narrator And so it was that Aladdin was transported to the icy wastes of
Colchester to begin a new life. Unfortunately, geography was never Levi's
strong point and so Aladdin was surprised to find himself in the middle of the
marginally more hospitable Sahara Desert
< 30-odd seconds of "walk like an egyptian", - with about 10 dancers
doing an "Egyptian-style" dance.>
<the dancers leave the stage>
<there is someone in the middle of the stage, wearing some form of cactus
costume- possibly strapped to a cardboard cut-out, and with a Mexican hat and
possibly even a pistol if we can manage it>
<enter Aladdin, stage-right>
Aladdin Ah well, at least it's better than Colchester.
Cactus <Mexican Accent> Eh! Amigo!
Aladdin Crikey Moses! What the hell are you?
Fernando I'm Grim Fernando, the talking cactus of Mehico.
Aladdin We're in Mexico?
Fernando That's what you think!
Aladdin But are we in Mexico?
Fernando No. But you do think that, do you not? I think that too.
We're not in Mehico. Is a bit of a mystery, no?
Aladdin Look mate, It's been a tiring few days. After what I've been
through I can't cope with a talking cactus.
Fernando No, don't leave me! I know what you need, amigo!
Aladdin Really? What?
Fernando You need a camel. Camels are known as the ships of the desert.
Do you know why?
Aladdin <not interested> No
.
Fernando Because they're full of Arabic semen! Ha, ha! Arriva!
Arriva!
Aladdin <to audience> Bloody Hell. The whole of the
desert to choose from and I end up here. Ebeneezer is obviously trying to
drive me mad.
<to cactus> And you've got to be the most
annoying
.. thing I've ever met.
<enter Ali B, followed by Camella Parker Bowles and four gangsters
>
Aladdin Hey! You're that con-man who sold Wishee-Washee those fake
drugs!
Ali B Look, why is you oppressing me? Is it `cos I is of middle-eastern
appearance?
Aladdin No, it's because you're a git. Who are you anyway?
Ali B Is you from da Daily Mail?
Aladdin No!
Ali B Oh dat's ok then. Me name is Ali B and these are me forty
gangsters.
Aladdin Forty?
Ali B Aiii. Onety, twoty , threety, forty. Me only went to Baghdad to
pick up one of those inflatable camel dolls. But when I went to give it a test
ride
Aladdin OK, OK, I get the picture. The name's Aladdin, by the way. But
why are you making a living selling fake cannabis to foreigners?
Ali B Mate. I can't tell you dat - I aint a batty boy. But I can
rap it to you, if you want.
Aladdin Right
<Ali B rap
>
Aladdin That doesn't explain anything!
Ali B Aight. Well, me nan always used to say if you want to get
ahead in life you have to give lots of,
er,
head.
Or
something like dat. Me nan's a bit odd.
Aladdin Ok. If you say so.
Ali B And the ganja business ere is going well min-gin'!
Aladdin Jesus
.
Ali B For real. For starters, me can't get da ganja to grow in the
dusty arid wasteland of da desert. And I `as no idea why! I as been reduced
to smokin' camel poo.
Aladdin Is it any good?
Ali B It's shit. But it's good shit!
Hey Aladdin, you know anything about growing stuff in da desert?
Aladdin Not that kind of stuff. But I do know of someone who can. Try
this number. <shows him address book>
<Ali B takes phone with rather puzzled expression and dials
number>
<partial black-out>
<the next bit is broadcasted over loudspeakers into the
audience>
Announcer That was the BBC Radio 4 Play. And now, Gardener's
question time. And here's your host, Eric Robson.
Eric Good afternoon. We join you again from the delightful Sussex
village of lower Dibblington, where we have been talking to a Mrs Trellis from
North Wales who was looking for advice on trimming her over-grown
water-feature. As usual, Bob Flowerdew and Pippa Greenwood are on-call to
answer your questions.
Now, I believe we have a caller on line 1. Hello?
Ali B Boyakasha, Eric! Ali B's in da house, respect!
Eric Hello there, Ali, what seems to be the problem?
Ali B Well, you see, I is having a well difficult time trying to grow me
illicit herbs in da desert.
Eric Ok, Ali, I think we can probably help you there. Pippa - what do
you make of Ali's situation?
Pippa Well, Ali, people often experience trouble trying to get plants to
grow in the desert. Can you tell me exactly what the problem seems to be?
Ali B Well, me bitch, let me tell you one thing. Since, me 'eard your
voice, me aint having no trouble getting me plant to grow aiiight!
Pippa I'm sorry?
Ali B Well never mind. Anyways, me ganja plant keeps shrivelling up and
dying, and me don't know why. I's tried injecting cyanide directly into its
stem but for some reason dat didn't work.
Pippa Oh, Ali, I think I know what your problem is. Have you tried
watering your marij-u-ana?
Ali B Uh... No. Why would I do dat?
Pippa In my experience of the desert, if you water your plants at least
105 times a day, you should be fine.
Ali B Oh, fanx! You is one clever bitch!
Eric Haha excellent. Now, on to line 2, where I believe a Mr Mandelson
is having trouble filling in a shallow grave in his rose bed.
<back to desert>
Aladdin See, Ali, I told you they'd help you out!
Ali B Recognize! Aladdin, you is now officially me main man. How can I
ever repay you? Nofin is too much.
Aladdin A trip back home would be nice!
Ali B No dat is too much.... I know what! 'ere, have dis ring. It
contains a magic genie.
Aladdin Really? Wow, that is kind!
Ali B Nah. The genie's a right bitch. Me asked her for infinity wishes
and she told me to piss off.
Aladdin Oh ok, well thanks, Ali!
Ali B Aight. See you in the Finale.
Selecta...ta...ta...ta...ta...ta...ta!
<Exit Ali B, Stage-Left>
Aladdin Bye! <waves after him>
<to Fernando, who is
still standing there>Well, wasn't he nice! Out of his bloody mind,
but...
Fernando E! Amigo! Have you heard the one about the blonde explorer in
the desert? She took a piece of sandpaper, thinking it was a map!
Aladdin Right! I know what this calls for! <rubs ring>
<enter Jean Genie, in a full-on-badass-human-sized-herring-costume,
stage-left>
Jean Da-Dah!
Aladdin Genie...My first wish is for you to dispose of this irritating
cactus!
Jean Why, certainly!
<Bong!>
<two people come on from the wings, bind-and-gag Fernando, and drag him
out
kicking and screaming>
Aladdin Thank you... Jean genie.
Jean That's me! Do I know you?
Aladdin No. I met your other half.
Jean Ah... my other half. The half-wit. Deaf and stupid - you
may not have noticed, but that twat TURNED ME INTO A HERRING!
Aladdin Oh yes. I see.
Jean Sorry - I haven't been feeling myself for a long time now. It's
the fins you know.
Aladdin Look, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. You ought to
consider seeing him again. It must be very lonely in that ring.
Jean But I can't get back together with him! He's deaf as a post!
Aladdin Not any more! I wished it away!
Jean You wished it away? Really? That was nice of you!... Well,
I suppose, I could consider seeing him again. I can remember it all so
vividly. The walks in the park... the ice-cream by the river...
Aladdin The sex dressed as She-Ra Princess of power?
Jean <wistfully> The sex dressed as She-Ra Princess of
Power. <back to reality> Oh, he told you about that too, did
he?
Aladdin Uh...lucky guess
Jean Our intimate personal secrets! The bastard! Oh, that really takes
the custard cream. Next time I see him, I'm going to give him such a wet
slap...
Aladdin That might be sooner than you think.
For my second wish, I wish for my marriage to Princess Jasmine to be restored!
<BONG!>
Now let's get back to Baghdad!
<exeunt, stage left>
Scene 10a - Persuading Jasmine
Narrator We return to the Sultan's palace where things have
taken a wern for the terse. Through the magic of the genie the Sultan must obey
Evil Ebeneezer's each and every command
<Sultan is scurrying around, moving things and cleaning up>
Ebeneezer And I want you to clean the bathroom... with your tongue!
Muhhahahah!
Sultan Yes master.
Ebeneezer But first we have more important issues to deal with. Sultan,
I want to marry your daughter!
Sultan Yes master.
<Jasmine enters the room>
Ebeneezer Speak of the devil. No, wait a minute, that's me.
<Ebeneezer hides behind curtain>
Sultan Jasmine. You will marry Ebeneezer.
Jasmine What?!? But I'm married to Aladdin! Don't you remember? It was
only this morning! Have you forgotten to take your pills again father?
Sultan You will marry Ebeneezer.
Jasmine Look, father. This is obviously some kind of joke. I half
expect Jeremy Beadle to jump out from behind that curtain any minute.
<they all look at the curtain>
<nothing happens>
<turn back to each other>
Well maybe not.
<ebeneezer jumps out>
Ebeneezer Ha! I always come when you least expect it!
Jasmine I know. Fifi already told me.
Ebeneezer I will make an excellent husband!
Sultan Ebeneezer will make an excellent husband. Come to daddy.
.<she backs off, into the arms of Ebeneezer>
Ebeneezer Haha! Got you now..<Ties her up>
Jasmine Oh my god! They're mad! Stop them! Aaaaarrrrrrgh!
Ebeneezer Muahahahahahahahaha! I am invincible! Nothing can stand in
my way! <dryly>...Sultan, Get out of my way!
<blackout>
Scene 10b - Back at the Palace
<Wedding scene in the palace. Priest is in straight jacket and
muzzle/mask>
<Jasmine is wearing handcuffs and a gag and looks distinctly
uncomfortable>
Narrator Our last scene is sadly also our eleventh.
Preparations are getting under way for the wedding of the year
But that's enough about Amanda Holden and Neil Morrissey's wedding, we're here
to see Jasmine get married
again.
No expense has been spent on making this wedding an even more glistening and
forgettable occasion than the last.
<Narrator starts to leave>
<Narrator quickly returns and removes the muzzle/mask from the
priest and then really leaves this time>
Narrator Like the Judge said I can only take this off if you
promise not to molest the Bride
Ok?
<Priest nods>
Priest I'll do my best, man. <clears throat> Dearly
bewildered, we are gathered here today, on pain of death by the Sultan, to
bring together the lovely Jasmine and the crazy homicidal lunatic Ebeneezer.
Ain' love a wonderful thing?
Ebeneezer <To audience> Of course, what the Sultan doesn't
realise is that once I have married Jasmine I intend to dispose of that useless
despot and his slightly unfortunate wife.
Sultan Come on, get to the good bit. I really want my daughter to
marry this rather unhinged bastard
for some reason.
Priest So Ebeneezer Stanislav Mildred Goode, do you take Jasmine Pepper
to be your lawful wedded wife?
Ebeneezer I do.
Priest And Jasmine Pepper, do you take Ebeneezer Goode to be your lawful
wedded husband.
Jasmine <Clear strains of NOOOOOOOOOOO! NO! NO!!!!!>
Sultan She said yes.
Ebeneezer She's my wife now!
Priest Well, not quite yet. First I have to declare you man and wife.
Bambi-Mae <Bursts into tears> Oh, I always cry at
weddings!
Chuck An authentic foreign ceremony. Where's the souvenir shop?
Priest And so, by the powers vested in me by myself, I declare you...
Widow Hold it right there! This is too straightforward for a final
scene. Where's the last minute plot twist, the good guy arriving in the nick of
time and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat?
<enter Wishee dramatically>
Wishee <brandishing a wooden spoon & wearing a saucepan on his
head> Here I am!
Widow Not you! <prods Bondage, who does nothing>
Bondage Sorry. It's my day off.
<Wishee looks disappointed>
Priest May I continue? Thank you. I now declare you man and...
<Aladdin and Jean Genie enter>
Aladdin Not so fast, Ebeneezer Goode!
I believe you will find that I'm married to the Princess!
Ebeneezer Impossible!
Aladdin Not when you have a Genie! I found another one. Call it a
knack!
Wishee That's how you got back so quickly. You used a wish!
Aladdin No. Easyjet. [[sterling]]10 return. I thought I should save a
wish for later. <to audience> You never know when they might come
in useful!
Ebeneezer You bastard!
Bambi-Mae Oh Chuck, isn't this exciting?
<Americans hug>
Ebeneezer You're lying! Continue the wedding!
Sultana Well there's only one way of determining this. Let us consult
the Births, Deaths and Marriages register. <Dramatic music>
Everyone Not the Births, Deaths and Marriages register! <Dramatic
music>
Sultana Yes! The Births, Deaths and Marriages register! <Dramatic
music> Grant, Phil, fetch the register.
<Grant and Phil exit and return with a single tiny sheet of
paper>
Let me see. Ah yes, on the 32nd of Octember, Aladdin Twankee and
Jasmine Pepper were married. Sorry, Ebeneezer but it seems Jasmine is married
already.
<Guards allow Aladdin to remove Jasmine's gag>
<Aladdin and Jasmine hug>
Ebeneezer But polygamy is legal in this state!
Jasmine Yes, but only on Tuesdays.
Ebeneezer <to audience> What day is it?
Plant <SAY DAY OF THE WEEK>
Ebeneezer Damn! Damn you all to hell!
Sultan Right, come on. Off to hell everyone! <starts ushering
everyone out>
Sultana What on earth is wrong with you dear?
Bondage <grabs Sultan, inspects mouth> Hmmm. It appears
that the Sultan has been Sub-Atomic Nano-Brainwashed, possibly by a Genie's
wish. Luckily I have my Super-Atomic Nano-Brainwash Reverser with me,
cunningly disguised in this jam sandwich. <brings out Jam Sandwich, pulls
sultans head towards it>
<Lights flash>
Sultan <dazed> Uhhh. Where am I? What's going on?
Ah. A wedding! Did I fall asleep? Jasmine have you married Bondage
yet?
Jasmine You tried to get me to marry Evil Ebeneezer! Don't you
remember?
Sultan No no no, I wanted you to marry Bondage. I think.
Jasmine Oh Father, I'm so confused. Why can't you just stop interfering
in my life and deciding what my feelings are? You just couldn't help yourself,
could you? As soon as Aladdin was out of the way, you were there plotting my
next marriage to someone more suitable. You really are frightfully unfair!
Sultan All my life I've tried to do what's right for you.
Jasmine No you haven't! You've only ever been interested in furthering
your own power!
Sultan No, no, no, no, no, well... yes. Sorry about that.
<Sultan and Sultana leave>
Ebeneezer Don't worry Jasmine. I still have the lamp! The Sultan will
never be able to control you again.
Jasmine And YOU! You're even worse! Fancy tying me up. Without my
permission! <Aladdin throws Jasmine a leek, and brings out a
cucumber>
Ebeneezer Bring it on! <Pulls out a marrow>
<They fight, and Aladdin and Jasmine drop their vegetables, Ebeneezer
holds his marrow to Aladdin's throat>
Not so clever now, are we? How are you going to wriggle your
way out of this one?
Aladdin It's at times like this when I wish I'd listened to what my
parents told me when I was little.
Jasmine <puzzled> Why? What did they tell you?
Aladdin I don't know! I didn't listen!
Ebeneezer Silence, worms! There is nothing you can do to stop me! All
power is mine! <prepares for the kill>
Wishee Save them, somebody
else.
<enter Ali B>
Ali B Oi Bitches, does anyone know the way to Da Highbury Vaults
.
Oh shit, what is you doin'?
Mate, dat is not da right way to utilise your marrow, aight! Dis' aint Deep
Throat 2!
This is all getting' a bit hectic, I is needing to relax. S'cuse me.
<gets drugs>
Aladdin Hey, give me some of that! <grabs drugs and throws
some at Ebeneezer>
Ebeneezer What? <sniffs> <goes all spaced> Ooh, that
is rather nice. <broad smile> Happy Ebeneezer, happy Ebeneezer,
oh look a butterfly!
<wanders off stage>
Happy, happy, Oh look, it's a long pointy thing, I wonder what this
does? Hey! I can make pretty patterns in blood on my chest! weeeee! weee!
<happy evil laugh> Moohaha!
Aladdin Ali? How did you get here? And what the hell was that stuff?
Ali B Athlete's foot powder. All dat activity was making me feet
itch.
Jasmine It seemed to do the trick.
Aladdin Hey, I've got an idea
<Aladdin picks up lamp, and rubs>
<Enter Levi>
Levi Da-Dah! Ebeneezer, I've told you, I'm not going to... Oh,
it's you. Hello, Aladdin! What can I do for you?
Aladdin Levi, I want you and Jean to back together again.
Levi Oh God, is she here? I don't want to talk to her!
Jean Well Levi, I certainly want to talk to you! I want to give you a
piece of my mind! Fancy turning me into a herring! I'm your
wife, Levi, don't that mean nothing to you? I never want to get back
together again, do you hear? NEVER!
<short eastenders music>
<Pops head around door>
Sultan Stop that! Stop that! Strictly American soaps in my palace.
<Sultan leaves again>
Aladdin Thank you Sultan Pepper. Jean! For my third wish I wish that
you and Levi would be together again!
<Family fortunes noise whi-ooooor! >
Jean Nope. No can do, thank God. I can't make people fall in love with
each other, it's against the rules and just plain morally wrong. I know I
didn't say so earlier, but it's in the film.
Aladdin Damn!
Wishee Wait a minute, Aladdin. I have a Cunning stunt! no a stunning
cunt. Erm
<Shocked silence>
Widow So do I, but I assume you mean you have a plan.
Wishee Yes. Anyway, Al, why not wish for Jean to lose her disturbing
herring-like appearance?
Aladdin Brilliant! In fact, it was so brilliant I'll take the credit for
it myself. Jean, I wish for you to lose your disturbing herring-like
appearance!
<Bong!!>
<Jean takes off her herring costume>
Jean Thanks Aladdin. Oh how wonderful it is to be free of that awful
herring smell.
Oh Levi. Now we can go back to the way we were before.
Widow Love is so much better when it comes late in life.
Ali That's what me gran said when she nobbed that bloke from
Westlife.
Levi How I've missed you Jean. For the last seven hundred years I've
been all alone in the lamp, with only Chesney Hawkes records for company. Let
us go and make mad, passionate love!
Jean There's nothing I'd like more.
<Exit Genies. Enter Ebeneezer>
<Hear from off stage. BING! Oooohhh! Bong! Oh baby! BING! BING! My go!
BONG! BONG! >
<Ebeneezer jumps back on stage.>
Ebeneezer Muhahahaa! So you thought you'd got rid of me using nothing
more than a supply of low grade pharmaceuticals? Well you're wrong. I'm back,
I'm evil and my feet don't itch any more! <Grabs the lamp from
Aladdin> Now for the climax of the whole show! I wish to rule the
world!!! <Rubs lamp>
Voiceover I'm sorry but the Genie you are calling is not available.
Please leave your wish after the tone <beep>
Ebeneezer What's going on. Where's the Genie?
Bondage It appears that your evil plan has been thwarted, Ebeneezer. The
Genies are all tied up at the moment.
Widow They're too busy copulating to grant any more wishes. You can
never seize the Sultan's power and rule the world!
Everyone Hurrah!
Ebeneezer Damn, damn, damn! Oh well, I still have my marrow.
<wields it at Aladdin>
Jasmine And we've still got this powder!
< Aladdin shoves powder under Ebeneezer's nose>
Ebeneezer The gerbils are coming. We all have to flee. Flee! Kentucky's
burning. Kentucky's burning. Fried chicken for everyone!
<Ebeneezer does voodoo dances around the altar>
Bambi-Mae Why's that man doing voodoo dances around the altar?
Chuck It's a traditional local custom. I saw it on World's Funniest
Disembowellings.
Bambi-Mae How quaint!
<Enter Fifi>
Fifi Oh PJ Timberflake, why did you betray me?
Ebeneezer Massage my nipples with antelope juice! Wubulubul!
Fifi Though I may be but a humble serving wench with nay an
opinion of mine own, you said you loved me, then you went off with Jasmine..
You bastard!
<slaps Ebeneezer, and cries for a second>
Oh PJ, I'm sorry we had to split up..
Ebeneezer <deadly serious> Slap my breasts with a roast
chicken!! Lobster! Lobster!
Fifi Oh PJ! You do still love me don't you!
Ebeneezer LOBSTER!
Fifi <look of love> Kiss me! <grabs Ebeneezer and
snogs him>
Ali <Jerry Springer Final Thought Style> Listen
kids, dat is what can happen to you if dabble in da white stuff. So let dis be
a lesson to you all. Don't do drugs. Dey is bad. Now I is off to `ave a spliff.
Selecta!
<Ali exits>
<Sultan and Sultana come in>
Aladdin Looks like Ebeneezer isn't going to cause us any more
trouble.
Oh Jasmine, I love you so very much.
Jasmine Oh Aladdin, I love you too!
<they snog, and exit>
Sultana Well, as long as she's happy. Oh Sultan, you do love me
don't you?
Sultan Yes of course I do. In a way.
<they walk off hand in hand>
Widow Bondage! Take me, shake me, stir me!
Bondage Oh the things I do for England.
<they snog, exit>
Wishee Oh wooden spoon, we've had so much fun together
<wishee snogs the spoon, exits>
Bambi-Mae You know Chuck, It's been such a great holiday.
Chuck It sure has Bambi-Mae.
<they walk off in opposite directions>
<everyone comes on stage>
<Final Song: Walking on Sunshine>
<The End >

Aladdin She came from Baghdad with a taste for carrots,
She studied
terror at Saint Saddam's College,
that's where I touched her thigh.

He was fine. And sending shivers up my spine she said,
Jasmine I want to live like common people.
I want to do whatever

I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with

Aladdin Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.
Jasmine He took me to a local tavern,
I went to kiss him but he stuck
his tongue in my ear.
and he drank my beer

Aladdin I said yeah.
"No really, we'd better doer a runner, I'm

Jasmine I want to live like common people
I want to see wherever
common people see
I want to sleep with common people,
Aladdin You want to sleep with common people like me!
But then you had to go back home,
And I was left naked, drunk and
alone
Jasmine I want to wear a filthy shirt,
Bathe myself in grease and
dirt.
Go to sleep in piles of straw,
Eat the scrapings off the
floor.
Aladdin But still you got it all for free ,
when you were laid in bed
by me,
eating veggies from the stall,
If you told your Dad he'd detach my
balls yeah.
Jasmine I'll never live like common people
Aladdin You didn't like the day old pizza for lunch
Jasmine I'll never smell like common people
Aladdin You'll never wash your feet each other month, and I'd like to
