"I can show you the whirled."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"I can show you the whirled."
What's actually sung
"I can show you the world." A Whole New World — Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle (1992)
Why the ear defaults
A child-scale mondegreen of Disney's *Aladdin* soundtrack. "The world" and "the whirled" are homophones in most American dialects — the misparsing is cognitive, not phonetic.
