Howard Ashman demo/1992 Theatrical Release/Motion Picture Soundtracks (1992-2001):
Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear
If they don't like your face
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home!


1993 VHS Release though present formats of the movie/Motion Picture Soundtracks (2001 - present):
Oh, I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where it's flat and immense
and the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home!


Return of Jafar/1994 TV Series:
Follow me to a place where incredible feats are routine every hour or so
Where enchantment runs rampant
Yes, wild in the streets
Open Sesame, here we go!


Disneyland Musical (2003)/Aladdin: The New Stage Musical (2011)/Broadway Musical (2014):
Oh, I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home!
(So same as the 1993 edited version)


Live Action Film (2019):
Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where you wander among
Every culture and tongue
It's chaotic, but hey, it's home!


I think we're due for a new version Laughing

I included the deleted lyric under Howard Ashman demo/1992 Theatrical Release/Motion Picture Soundtracks (1992-2001) since those carried it until the change.

And I included the broadway lyrics under Disneyland Musical (2003)/Aladdin: The New Stage Musical (2011) since they all follow the 'changed' lyric version we've had since 1993.

I also just checked and Aladdin Jr. follows the same lyrics as the other stage productions.

Didn't do the various reprises over the years because we'd be here a loooooong time Laughing
