Lyrics

You're the one that I need You're nimble, stealthy, skilled Do you want to continue abusing those skills Stealing bits of bread and worthless bubbles? Or do you want to make a name for yourself And do something that would make any mother proud? You have the profile of a prince With a physique that matches Beneath the dirt and patches You are a diamond in the rough I say we work together since You're braver then, which you are We're just as shocked as you are That you're a diamond in the rough Hey, I'm no diamond in the rough Under the filth and the fleas There are gifts that you've been neglecting And truth be told You are not quite the guy that we were expecting And though you might need finesse And perhaps some disinfecting You'll be the one who succeeds When the lamp of their needs collecting Uh, I dunno guys I got a funny feeling about this I better just be on my way Take one step and die you brainless miscreant Happy place Apologies What I meant to say is You just don't know how swell you are You just don't know how swell you are So far, the only hitch is There's just an itty bitty hitch You're an embarrassment of riches Embarrassing, too true You are the diamond in the rough Let's all rejoice, the spooky voice said You're the diamond in the rough Look, here's the diamond in the - Three cheers, the diamond in the - We found the diamond in the rough You better find somebody else There is nobody else Talk about the girl Oh Then, of course, there's Princess Jasmine It's clear she took a shying to you But, let me be frank With no cash in the bank You'll never win her heart It just tears me apart To see her slip right through your fingers Which way is this cave of yours? Atta boy! Go through, you might be a bum But you're one of noble spirit It's just a cave that might eat you alive No need to fear it Well, it's a risk that I might have to take We're glad to hear it So, please no missteps or blunders Cue the Cave of Wonders We've waited long enough Who disturbs my slumber? Uh, it is I, Aladdin You are the diamond in the rough The one whose worth lies deep within You may enter I don't believe it My mother always said that if I only applied myself If I only believed - We don't have time for self-discovery Fetch me the lamp now Wish me luck Luck? Goodbye, you diamond in the - Please try, you diamond in the - Don't die you, diamond in the rough At last!
