Three Wishes

Reached back for the bottle

Rubbed against the lamp

Genie came out smiling like some eastern tramp

He said, "Hey, boy, what's happening?

What is going on?

You can have three wishes

If you don't take too long

If you don't take too long"

I said, "Well, I wish they all were happy

In the Lebanon

Wish somebody'd help me write this song

I wish, when I was young

My old man had not been gone"

Genie said, "Consider it done"

There's something in the air

And you don't know what it is

You see someone through a window

Who you've just learned to miss

And the road leads on to glory

But you used up your last wish

Your last wish

And you want her to come home

Bring her home

Genie said, "I'm sorry

That's the way it goes

Where the hell's the lamp, sucker?

It's time for me to go

Bye"

There's something in the air

And you don't know what it is

You see someone through a window

Who you've just learned to miss

And the road leads on to glory

But you used up your last wish

Your last wish

And you want her to come home
