 Experience the zany antics of Iago from
"Aladdin" and Zazu from "The Lion King" as they ruffle some feathers in
The Enchanted Tiki Room. Under new management, The Enchanted Tiki Room
features a witty, upbeat show with several new musical numbers.
The original group of Audio-Animatronics
characters continue to star in the show including Jos³, Michael, Fritz and
Pierre. "The Enchanted Tiki Room -- Under New Management," which debuted
in spring 1998, blends the original cast of characters into a witty,
upbeat show that features several new choreographed musical numbers. One
song guests are sure to recognize is a stirring rendition of "Friend Like
Me," sung by Iago. Another is "The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room" song, led by Jos³.
Midway through the song, Iago, voiced by Gilbert Gottfried (who provided
the voice of Iago for "Aladdin"), interrupts.
Stop the Music!"
Iago rattles a few bird cages when he
announces the Tiki Room will house a brand-new show. The straight-laced
Zazu warns Iago that any changes to the show will anger the tiki gods.
Self-appointed king of the coupe, Iago, refuses to be knocked off his
perch. He continues with his renovation plans, scoffing at the tiki gods.
Uh Oa, the tiki goddess of disaster, rises
up from the center of the room in a horrible blast of green vapor. Iago's
lame-duck defenses cannot save him from the wrath of Uh Oa. She raises her
staff and sends a bolt hurling towards Iago. When it connects, Iago
mysteriously disappears in a cloud of smoke.
After the tiki gods perform a hip-hop rap
number, Iago reappears wrapped in bandages and on crutches declaring the
tiki gods the greatest act he has ever heard. He joins Zazu and the rest
of the Audio-Animatronics cast for a musical grand finale.
The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management is a Walt Disney
World Magic Kingdom attraction located in Adventureland. This is a
reworking of the original Enchanted Tiki Room, which premiered at
Disneyland in 1963. The premise is that Iago and Zazu are the new owners
of the Tiki Room. A cast of audio-animatronic birds, tikis, and flowers --
along with one ticked-off goddess -- provide the entertainment. The
outdoor preshow lasts 2 minutes. The main show, inside the air-conditioned
Tiki Room, lasts approximately 11- 1/2 minutes, if you stick around to
hear all the little exit jokes.
The preshow takes place outside the Tiki Room. There is a
tropical garden with a waterfall. The waterfall suddenly stops flowing,
and the wall behind it opens up to reveal William and Morris, who are Iago
and Zazu's talent agents. The agents are birds, just like their clients.
Note all the bird-related puns.
Morris: Hey, what're you doin'
here, William?
William: What're you
doin' here, Morris?
Morris: I just flew in from
Hollywood. My client's the new owner of this birdcage.
William: What? Are you cuckoo? My client's the new owner. Disney gave me an exclusive.
Morris: Co - exclusive.
Didn't you read your contract?
William: I gave it a bird's eye
glance.
Morris: And you call yourself a
talent agent? I negotiated my tailfeathers off for this deal.
William: Well, my client does
not share credit. He's a very big bird.
Morris: Your client is Big Bird?
William: Not Big Bird. A
big bird, you birdbrain.
Morris: Well, your dim little
star is now half owner of the Enchanted Tiki Room with my superstar.
William: Think again, chickie
babe.
Morris: Stop grousing! Just look
at these paying customers waiting to get in.
William: Did you say "paying"?
Morris: As in money.
William: As in ten percent? Hey,
who am I to go against the status crow?
(Sound of gong)
Cast Member: I'm sorry to
interrupt you guys, but they're calling us inside. Ladies and gentlemen,
in a few moments, these doors behind me will be opening into the world of
joyous song and island splendors, the Enchanted Tiki Room.
William: Wait! Our clients are
not here.
Morris: Maybe they hit traffic.
William: Don't say that.
Morris: Sorry. Anyway, babe,
I've gotta fly this coop and migrate back to Hollywood. My birds'll call
your birds. We'll do lunch.
William: What's the rush?
Morris: I'm about to sign Donald
Duck.
William: Oh yeah? Big deal, you
hockey puck! I've got the Mighty Ducks in the wings.
Morris: You do not.
William: Do too.
Morris: Do not.
William: Do too.
Morris: Not!
William: Too!
Morris: Not!
William: Too!
Morris: Not!
William: TOO!!!!
Morris: You don't. Come on.
William: Leave me alone.
Morris: Oh ...
William: Do too!
Morris: Oh ...
William: Yeah?
Morris: Come on, William
William: Oh, not! Oh yeah?
Morris: Level with me. Put the
bubble between the lines ...
Cast Member: And now I'd like to
introduce you to our master of ceremonies, Jose. ........ Jose's asleep,
so on the count of three, everybody say, "Wake up, Jose!" One, two, three
--
Audience: Wake up, Jose!
Jose: (yawns) My siestas

Michael: So it is. Pierre, you
rascal you, let's put on the show!
Pierre: Mon ami, I am always

Fritz: Mein goodness, you're all

Michael: Wait, wait! We forgot to

(whistle)
Jose: Ole! Ole! It's showtime!
 In

In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
All the birds sing words and the flowers croon,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room.
Welcome to our tropical hideaway,
You lucky people you.
If we weren't in the show starting right away --
Iago: Hey!
Jose: We'd be in the audience,
too.
Iago: Hey, stop the music! Are you
listening to me? I said stop the music!
(Birds gradually stop tweeting and music stops.)
Iago: What is that? I'm gonna toss
my crackers. And these people below me, they ain't gonna like that. Trust
me.
Zazu: Iago!
Iago: Well, look what the cat
dragged in: Zero!
Zazu: That's Zazu. Be
forewarned, Iago, you cannot toy with the Enchanted Tiki Room.
Iago: What're you squawkin' about?!
Pierre: Pardon moi, monsieur Iago,
but I am afraid that your friend is right.
Iago: He's not MY friend!
Zazu: Well!
Iago: Obviously, you birds don't
know who we are. Don't you guys ever fly to the movies?
Jose: We don't get out much.
Pierre: Oui, oui. We are, uh ...
how do you say ... haha, attached to the place!
Iago: Well, don't get too
attached, chumps! 'Cause we're the new owners!
Jose,
Michael, Pierre, Fritz: NEW OWNERS!?
Iago: That's right. Now listen, you
birdbrains, if you're gonna keep your jobs, ya gotta get hip. I know all
about it, see?
(The familiar strains of "Friend
Like Me," from "Aladdin," begin.)
Iago: 
'Cause
I'm a very famous movie star
And all of Hollywood drops my name.
Who cares about Aladdin or Jafar?
I'm the one with all the looks and fame.
I got a million crackers in the bank,
And I plan to get a zillion more!
And you guys will all have me to thank
When they're linin' up at the door.
You are boring Tiki birds.
I'm a big cele-birdy.
That's why I'm gonna go and change your show.
Ain't it great to have a friend like me?
Jose: But seĝor, we've done the
same show --
Fritz: Ja, since1963.
Iago:
My, how time flies.
Get a life, you guys!
You're ancient history.
Can your tails do this?
Can your wings do that?
Can you bad birds sing
In punk or rap?
Can ya rock and roll?
Well, listen here.
It's a whole new world, so ya better get hip,
Or your audience will disappear.
Yes, your show biz magic lamp
Rub me right, I'll set you free.
You've paid your dues, now you birds can't lose.
Ain't it great to have a friend,
Great to have a friend,
You ain't --
Great to have a friend,
Great to have a friend,
You ain't never had a friend like meeeeeeeee!
Ain't never had a friend like me!
Zazu: Iago, pleeeeeeease. The Tiki
gods can hear you.
 Iago: If I hear one more word about
those Tiki-tacky, Polynesian, pineapple-pickin', wood-for-brains, MORON
Tiki gods ...
(Loud clap of thunder, lights dim)
Iago: Hey! Who turned out the
lights?
Zazu: That would be the ...
moron Tiki gods.
Pierre: Oui, oui. We are doomed.
(begins
singing) Doom is in the air.
Fritz: It's good-bye, my friend
Pierre.
Jose,
Michael, Pierre, Fritz: It's so
hot! Hot! Hot!
Pierre: Hey mon ami, oh, the end is
plain to see, 'cause it's hot! Hot! Hot!
(Rumbling sound)
Zazu: What -- what was that?
Tiki gods:(chant) Uh-oa,
Uh-oa, Uh-oa, oa, oa! Uh-oa, Uh-oa, Uh-oa, oa, oa! Uh-oa!
(The planter in the center of the room begins to smoke, and
Uh-oa, the Tiki Goddess of Disaster, emerges.)
Jose,
Michael, Pierre, Fritz: Uh-oa! The Tiki Goddess of
Disaster!
Uh-oa: Who dares defame the Tiki
gods?!
Zazu: Uh ... he did.
Iago: Oh, thank you very much, Zazu!
(Chanting continues in the background.)
Uh-oa: Be careful, my fine
feathered little friend! When ya mess with Polynesia, the Tiki gods will
squeeze ya!
(singing) You're messin' with me, baby ..
Tiki goddess chorus: Ain't the
thing to do ...
Iago: Wait! Some of my best friends
are Tiki gods!
Uh-oa: You're stressin' me, baby
...
Tiki goddess chorus: Shoulda
listened to Zazu ...
Iago: Gee, look at the time. Gotta
fly!
Uh-oa: You can't fly away now,
you're stuck!
Iago: I'm stuck!
Uh-oa: I have cursed you
for pushing your luck!
Tiki goddess chorus: Bye bye!
Uh-oa:
It won't help to yell.
You are under my spell.
Look out, parrot!
You're a dead duck!
Iago: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
(Iago is banished with much noise and smoke, and disappears.)
Uh-oa: Aloha! (with an evil
laugh, Uh-oa disappears.)
Zazu: Iago? Uh, Iago?
Pierre: Excusez moi, monsieur Zazu.
It appears monsieur Iago has (laughs) flown the coop.
Zazu: Oh dear.
Pierre: Perhaps it would be best to
let the Tiki gods have their say, ne c'est pas?
Zazu: Right. And now, here they
are, the pop idols of Polynesia. The one, the only, the Tiki gods!
(The various Tiki statues and flowers throughout the room begin
to move and sing.) 
Tiki chorus:
Doo
doo doo doo
Shoo wop, shooby doo
Shoo wop, shooby doo
Shoo wop, shooby doo
Shoo wop, shooby doo
Soloist:
In the still of the night
I held you, held you tight
'Cause I love, love you so
Promise I'll never let you go
In the still of the night
Tiki chorus: In the still of the
night.
Soloist: In the still of the
ni-i-ight.
(A Tiki rap begins)
Tiki chorus:
The birdies in the trees
Sing pretty harmonies
These Tiki gods like a lot
So let's all sing like the birdies sing
Tiki goddesses: Tweet! Tweet!
Tiki chorus: Those chicks are hot!
Tiki goddesses: Uh-huh..
Tiki chorus:
The boys in the back are on the cause
And that's because they are macaws
Most little birdies will fly away
But us Tiki Room birds are here every day
(A brief but intense Polynesian chant follows, ending with a very
fierce-sounding grunt. At this point, Iago suddenly reappears -- bruised,
burned, and bandaged. But still obnoxious.)
Iago: Whoa, smokin'!!
Jose,
Michael, Pierre, Fritz, Zazu:
IAGO????
Iago: Ha ha!! These gods were the
greatest act I've ever heard! This place is gonna be a gold mine. No more
worries!
Zazu: (laughs) Well, where I
come from, that's called Hakuna Matata.
Iago: Hunky tuna tostada??!! What a
stupid phrase! But that's okay, my friend.
Zazu: Your ... friend?
Iago: That's right. And now that
we've got a smash show on our wings, LLLLLLLET'S PARTY!!
Michael: Look! Here come the
girls!
(Beautiful white female birds descend from the ceiling on an
elaborate spinning perch, and begin to sing.)
Lady Birds:
Come
on birdies, shake your feathers, do the
conga.
No, we can't control ourselves any longer.
Get into the Tiki rhythm of a song-a.
This is where the Tiki birds all belong-a now.
Iago: Whoa, yeah, sing it, girls!
Jose: I wonder what happened to
Rosita.
Zazu: Oh dear. I'm afraid I'm not
familiar enough with this type of music to ... get down and get funky.
Iago: Just wing it, Zazzy boy!
Zazu:
Come on birdies, shake your feathers, do the conga.
No, we can't control ourselves any longer.
Get into the Tiki rhythm of a song-a.
Don't you fight it 'til you've tried it. Now the Tikis tweet!
Jose: Everybody ... let's
fiesta!
All: To the rhythm of the beat.
Iago: Take it, Pierre baby!
Pierre: Miss Uh-oa saved our show-a
when she turned up the heat.
Lady Birds: She turned up the
heat.
Zazu: My friend Iago learned his
lesson, and now he will be discreet.
Iago: OH YEAH!? That's what you
think! Time is money. Everybody, on your feet!
Iago: You heard 'em. Stand up,
everbody! Up, up, up!
Michael: And now, as long as
you're all standin' ...
Jose: We have a wonderful magic
trick for you.
Iago: A magic trick?!
Fritz: Ja. Everybody! Face the
door, und the trick is, ve're gonna make you all ... disappear.
Iago: Ha ha! Now you birds are
gettin' the idea.
All:
Goodbye.
Farewell.
Aloha.
Get on your feet.
It's out the door
You go-ha.
On your feet.
On your feet.
Out the door.
Iago: Come on! Everybody out!
Migrate, people! Migrate! 
All:
Heigh

Heigh ho.
It's out the door you go.
We hope you've all enjoyed the show,
Heigh ho, heigh ho.
Zazu: Bye bye now. Cheerio! You've
been an impeccable audience.
Iago: Hey kid, that's a real smart
idea, walkin' directly under a bird. Good thing you're wearin' a hat.
All:
Heigh ho
Heigh ho.
Just lift your feet and go.
We'll sing the song,
You march along.
Heigh ho, heigh ho.
Iago: Come on! Keep movin'! You've
had enough enchantment for one day.
Zazu: Bye bye now!
Iago: Hey lady, it wouldn't hurt you
to walk a little faster! .......... Boy, I'm tired! I think I'll head over
to the Hall of Presidents and take a nap.
Zazu: Right! Off you go.
Fritz: Wonderful! Wonderful!
Jose: No one laid an egg but me.
