[Intro: GENIE]

Here I go!

Unh, ooh, woo!

Back up! Uh-oh! Watch out! Unh!

You done wound me up!

'Boutta show you what I'm workin' with, unh!

[Verse 1: GENIE]

Well, Ali Baba, he had them forty thieves

Scheherazade had a thousand tales

But, master, you're in luck because up your sleeves

You got a brand of magic never fails

You got some power in your corner now

Heavy ammunition in your camp

You got some punch, pizazz, yahoo, and how?

All you gotta do is rub that lamp

And then I'll say

[Verse 2: GENIE]

Mister—Man, what's your name? Whatever—

What will your pleasure be?

Let me take your order, I'll jot it down

You ain't never had a friend like me

Life is your restaurant

And I'm your maitre d'

Come, whisper to me whatever it is you want

You ain't never had a friend like me

[Verse 3: GENIE]

We pride ourselves on service

You the boss, the king, the shah!

Say what you wish, it's yours! True dish

How about a little more baklava?

Have some of column A

Try all of column B

I'm in the mood to help you, dude

You ain't never had a friend like me

[Refrain: GENIE]

Oh! Unh!

It's the big part, watch out!

It's the big part, oh!

[Bridge: GENIE]

Can your friends do this?

Can your friends do that?

Can your friends pull this

Outta they little hat?

Can your friends go—

I'm the genie of the lamp

I can sing, rap, dance, if you give me a chance, oh!

[Verse 4: GENIE]

Don't sit there buggy-eyed

I'm here to answer all your midday prayers

You got me bona fide, certified

You got a genie for your charge d'affaires

I got a powerful urge to help you out

So what's your wish? I really wanna know

You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt

Well, all you gotta do is rub like so

[GENIE:]

Mister—

[ALADDIN:]

Aladdin

[GENIE:]

Yes!

One wish or two or three

Well, I'm on the job, you big nabob

You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend, you ain't

Never had a friend, never had a friend

You ain't never (Never!)

Had a (Had a)

Friend (Friend)

Like (Like)

Me!

You ain't never had a friend like me!
