Lyrics

[Intro]

Hit it

Wah-wah-wah, oh my

Wah-wah-wah, oh no

Wah-wah-wah

[Verse 1]

Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves

Scheherazade had a thousand tales

Well Master, you in luck 'cause up your sleeve

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

[Chorus]

And I'll say

"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

[Chorus]

Life is your restaurant

And I'm your maitre d'

Come on, whisper what it is you want

You ain't never had a friend like me

Yes, sir

[Verse 2]

We pride ourselves on service

You the boss, the king, the shah

Say what you wish, it's yours, true dish

How 'bout a little more baklava?

There it is

Come on, fellas, help me out

[Chorus]

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

Now watch me sell it

[Verse 3]

Wah-wah-wah, oh my

Wah-wah-wah, oh no

Wah-wah-wah

Come on, kid

[Verse 4]

Can your friends do this?

Can your friends do that?

Can your friends pull this

Out their little hat?

Can your friends go poof?

Well, lookie here

Can your friends go abracadabra, let her rip

Then make the sucker disappear?

[Verse 5]

So don't you just sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed

I'm here to answer all your midday prayers

You got me bona fide, certified

You got a genie for a charge d'affaires

[Verse 6]

I've got powerful urge to help you out

So what's ya wish? I really wanna know

You gotta list that's three miles long, no doubt

But all you gotta do is rub like so

[Verse 7]

Come on

Yes

And, oh

[Chorus]

Mr. Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three

I'm on the job, you big nabob

You ain't never had a friend like me

[Verse 8]

Can your friends do this?

No really, can they?

You're welcome

[Verse 9]

Or maybe, our lucky contestant

Would like to wish for talent or fame

Welcome to Dancing With The Scimitars

[Verse 10]

Grab Aladdin by the hand

Swing him 'round till he can't stand

Chicken in the baskets, barrel in a tree

Never had a friend like me

[Verse 11]

I'd like to bring the house down a little bit

Sing a few old classics

Couple of favorites of mine

I'll get back to you in a second

Thank you

[Verse 12]

Tale as old as time

Thank you, thank you very much

True as it can be

Barely even friends

Beauty and the

[Verse 13]

Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the genie

Who has everything?

[Verse 14]

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper-skinned

[Verse 15]

I want adventure in the great wide

Ever just a same

Ever a surprise

Though he's sitting here

Watch Al disappear

Right before your eyes, oh

Yes

[Verse 16]

Can your friends do this?

Can your friends do that?

Can your friends do tap?

[Verse 17]

Can your friends do this?

Can your friends do that?

Can your friends go abracadabra, let her rip?

Give me a doggy bag

I'm takin' it home

[Chorus]

Mr. Aladdin, sir

Have a wish or two or three

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 like

Me

Never had a friend like me
