That might be it. It's summer and my brain is turned off |

Ehhh... put in lyrics like "wedding night," and you'd have oddballs like myself giggling throughout the rest of the movie.
AladdinsGenie, perhaps the word you're looking for is "assonance?" I'm not sure if that quite fits, but that might be what you're looking for. |

It's a special kind of rhyme. I can't think of it right now, which doesn't show much for my college education considering I was JUST studying this in English 1020 |

Haha, that's pretty funny. "But Jasmine...I don't want an audience on our wedding night!"
But yeah, I agree with the masses that 'delay' and 'day' are supposed to be rhyming there. |

I'd beg to differ. But I guess that was what they thought too. |
Enough for the song to flow. |

Well, more than right and delay do, at any rate. |

Well, this is Cassim we're talking about; I wouldn't put it past him. |

The rhymes are in Jasmine's part - Aladdin is singing a counterpoint part at that point in the song . . .
Our wedding can wait
I think it's worth this small delay
And won't it be great
To have your father see our wedding day?
Delay and day rhyme. |

You showed me the world
When I was all locked up inside,
You reached out your hand
And took me on a magic carpet ride
One look at your smile,
And I could see the light
Shining everywhere
People like you don't come out of thin air.
[ALADDIN:]
Oh, Jasmine
You don't understand
There is so much that you don't see
Just think, if you can,
What growing up had to be like for me
Your father's a man
Who taught you who you are--
Mine was never there
So how can you say I don't come out of thin air?
There's so much I want to know
[JASMINE:]
You've got the chance to learn
[ALADDIN:]
If it means I'd have to go
[JASMINE:]
I'll be right here when you return...
Our wedding can wait
[ALADDIN:]
I love you
[JASMINE:]
I think it's worth this small delay
[ALADDIN:]
Maybe you're right
[JASMINE:]
And won't it be great
To have your father see our wedding day?
[ALADDIN:]
I've waited so long
[JASMINE:]
It isn't too late
[ALADDIN:]
to learn the truth
[BOTH:]
And now at last, we can finally say
[JASMINE:]
Your father is really there
[ALADDIN:]
There's so much that we might share
[JASMINE:]
And you'll finally learn
[BOTH:]
(You) (I) don't come out of thin air
Well, that is the lyrics of "out of thin air" from King of thieves. This is what I've been wondering about.
[ALADDIN:]
Maybe you're right
[JASMINE:]
And won't it be great
To have your father see our wedding day?
Right and day do not rhyme at all. If you think about it, night rhymes with right. Perhaps that was the original lyric but a proofreader found it could imply some tompeeping pervy stuff. Cause everyone knows what happens the wedding night. It would of been better if Disney picked another lyric that sounded like Right instead of just putting Day in there. It makes the song make more sense, but it kills any rhyme scheme they had going on. |
