Aladdin is a poor Young Man living in China (In Name Only. The setting is completely Islamic). He has no job and lives off the little money His Widowed Mother can bring in; His Father died from Grief at such An Irresponsible Son. One day, An Evil Maghreb Sorcerer approaches him, claiming to be His Father's Brother but in fact seeking to use him for his own benefit. He gives Aladdin A Ring and sends him into A Magic Cave to retrieve An Old Oil Lamp, but when Aladdin struggles on the last step, The Magician's impatience gets the better of him and he seals The Cave with Aladdin and His Lamp inside.
Fortunately, he's still wearing His Magic Ring which, when rubbed, releases a Jinn who brings him out. When he gets home, Aladdin's Mother starts cleaning The Lamp, releasing a far more powerful Jinn who grants Aladdin his every wish.
Over time, with the use of The Lamp, Aladdin becomes vastly wealthy. He even gains The Sultan's favorite daughter for His Wife. However, The Sorcerer realizes that Aladdin must have escaped with The Lamp, so he steals it with a ruse, then takes Aladdin's Palace, along with His Wife and all his possessions, to His Home in Maghreb.
Aladdin despairs, but all is not lost, because he still has that Magic Ring. While The Ring Jinn can't simply undo The Lamp Jinn's Magic, He can transport Aladdin to His Palace, where he frees His Wife, beats the bad guy, and gets His Lamp back.
All right! You know, it is funny because I'm so used to-
Always-, my key is always higher than the actors' who do, like, my songs
I can't believe-
You have a high voice
But you-, you actually do the song-, I do it in A, erm, in C, right?
Yeah
You do it in what?
In D
Unbelievable (a step up)
My ego has just shattered everything
You wanna try it?
Let's do it!
Proud of your boy
I'll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I've been, ma
You're in for a pleasant surprise
I've wasted time
I've wasted me
So say I'm slow for my age
A late bloomer, okay, I agree
That I've been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I'll get over these lousin' up
Messin' up, screwin' up times
You'll see, ma, now comes the better part
Someone's gonna make good cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy
Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer
You won't get a fight here, no, ma'am
Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
But that couldn't be all that I am
Water flows under the bridge, let it pass
Let it go
There's no good reason that you should believe me, not yet
I know, but
Someday and soon
I'll make you proud of your boy
Though I can't make myself taller
Or smarter or handsome or wise
I'll do my best, what else can I do?
Since I wasn't born perfect like dad or you
Mom, I will try to try hard to make you
Proud of your boy
