Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm the genie, da, da, da, da, da
[Verse 2]
I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face
And a voice keeps sayin' this is where I'm meant to be
[Verse 3]
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
When I go the distance I'll be right where I belong
[Verse 4]
There you see here sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say but there's something about her
And you don't know why but you're dyin' to try
You wanna kiss the girl
[Verse 5]
Yes, you want her, look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too, there is one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl, sing with me now
[Verse 6]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my oh my
Look like the boy too shy, ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad
Ain't it a shame, too bad, you gonna miss the girl
[Verse 7]
No one's slick as Gaston, no one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck is incredibly thick as Gaston
There's no man in ten half who's part manly
Perfect, a pure paragon
[Verse 8]
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on
[Verse 9]
No one's been like Gaston, a kingpin like Gaston
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
My, what a guy, that Gaston
[Verse 10]
Bless my soul, Herc was on a roll
Person of the Week in every Greek opinion poll
What a pro, Herc could stop a show
Point him at a monster and you're talkin' SRO
[Verse 11]
He was a no one, a zero, zero
Now he's a hot shot, he's a hero
He was a kid with his act down pat
From zero to hero in no time flat
Zero to hero just like that
