Friend Like Me Lyrics


FRIEND LIKE ME
Genie         Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves,
                   Scheherazade had a thousand tales
                   But mister, you’re in luck
                   ‘Cause up your sleeves you got
A brand of magic never fails.
You got some power in your corner now,
Some heavy ammunition in your camp.
You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how,
See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp.
And I’ll say:
ALL: Mister Aladdin, sir,
What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order – jot it down,
You ain’t never had a friend like me.
No, no, no. Life is your restaurant,
And I’m your maitre d’.
All               C’mon whisper what it is you want.
Genie         You ain’t never had a friend like me.
All               Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service.
                   You’re the boss, the king, the shah.
                   Say what you wish, it’s yours!
                   True dish, how ‘bout a little more baklava?
                   Have some of column “A”. Try all of column “B”.
Genie         I’m in the mood to help you, dude,
                   You ain’t never had a friend like me.

All               Wa-ah-ah,
Genie         Oh my!
All               Wa-ah-ah,
Genie         No no!
All               Wa-ah-ah,
Genie         Na na na! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
                   Can your friends do this? Can your friends do that?
                   Can your friends pull this out their little hat?!
All               Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three
                   I’m on the job, you big nabob,
                   ALL: 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 had a friend like –
Group 1     (at the same time as Group 2)
                   Me, Like me, Like me.
                   You ain’t never had a friend like me!
Group 2     (at the same time as Group 1)
                   Wah-ah-ah, Oh my! Wah-ah-ah, No no!
                   Wah-ah-ah, na na na!
                   You ain’t never had a friend like me!
