"Humiliate the Boy" is a deleted song from Disney's 1992 animated film Aladdin. It featured Jafar and Iago using the magic of the Genie to publicly humiliate Aladdin and revealing that he is not a real prince in front of everyone. The song was cut for being considered too cruel and because of the addition of the three wishes limit rule to the story.
There are two versions of the song: the first one had a more insane and exaggerated version of Jafar and a snobbish Iago with a British accent and a more humane voice, the second (sometimes mistaken as the demo version) had a more measured-up Jafar and a parrot-voiced Iago. Both songs used the same storyboard.
Both versions were performed by Jafar's voice actor Jonathan Freeman and an unidentified voice actor as Iago.
Lyrics[]
Seize the good times!
Too bad they never last
Especially for an urchin
With a questionable past
Ah, yes, these were the good times
Hope you liked them, little friend
'Cause here is where the good times
Most decidedly must end
[Iago?]
[Sir?]
Oh, it's a thrill
Oh, it's such fun
To see another fellow's dreams
Turn into nightmares, one by one
It's such a lark
It's such a joy
To roll our sleeves up and humiliate the boy
Oh, it's a kick
Oh, it's a bash
When we remove the fancy turban
And the neatly trimmed mustache
And now let's repossess the clothes
D'ya think we ought to?
Why by coy?
C'mon, let's do it
Let's humiliate the boy
Once he was proud
Once he was fine
The very model of Arabian design
But such is fate
Too bad, tsk-tsk
I guess he'll have to learn the hard way
Rubbing lamps involves some risk
And it's so rich
And it's so rare
To take his shirt, his shoes, his jewelry
And then we'll thin his hair
Oh, we'll emasculate him slowly
All the better to enjoy
How delicious, to humiliate the boy
What were the horses?
They were roaches
And the camels?
They were gnats
And the elephant?
His monkey - and the rest of 'em were rats
They were rodents?
Yes, diseased ones
Oh, how very, very sad
Change them back now, that's an order
Take everything you gave him
All the magic stuff away
Leave him dirty, poor and penniless
[But, sir . . .]
Do as I say!
Now let it rain
Now let it storm
Now send some flies into the picture
'Bout how many?
Oh, a swarm
Now let 'er rip
Dont be repressed
Keep on destroying things
I've always felt it's what you do the best
Let him have it! Atta Genie!
Since you're now in our employ
It's your pleasure to ruin him!
Wreck him!
I want him neutralized!
