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.

two or three
