AbanazarINTROS:


Usually the Baddy sets the scene-always enters Down Stage Left

From ALADDIN

 

SCENE ONE-THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. ENTER ABANAZAR IN GREEN LIGHT STAGE LEFT
ABANAZAR: (WICKED LAUGH)
I am the wizard, Abanazar,
Recently freed from prison bars; a
Most demeaning misdemeanour
Meant I spent six months between a
Peeping Tom who'd been caught spying
And an MP who'd been jailed for lying-
But while I was incarcerated,
I heard a tale about a feted
Objet d'art, a priceless treasure-
A wondrous thing beyond all measure-
A magic lamp, for cent'ries hidden
And its whereabouts forbidden
To all who seek it by design.
Oh, would that that rare lamp were mine!-
But the very wish deprives me
Of the chance to find what drives me!
Whoever actively pursues it
Will inevitably lose it ;
That very fact, then, just by wishin'
For the thing would bring perdition.

My search has brought me to this city
Where tea is weak and rice is gritty-
(You thought I was going to say something else then, didn't you?)
And with my last and final euro
I went into a nearby bureau
And bought myself a little trinket-
Twas either spend the cash or drink it,
And seeing what they charge round here
My dosh would not stretch to a beer;
Instead I bought this little thing-
A really rather gaudy ring-
It's just the thing when I go clubbing -
But first, a little bit of rubbing.
(SPITS ON HAND AND RUBS RING. FLASH. ENTER THE GENI OF THE RING)
GENI: Ooh, I do wish you wouldn't spit-I might as well not bother with the Pantene Pro-active.(REARRANGES UNDERWEAR) Oh, that's better. You do tend towards cramp in the nether regions after two centuries stuck with your feet stuffed in your mouth. And we're none of us getting any younger, you know. Things do tend to atrophy.
