Howard Ashman - Friend Like Me (Original Broadway Cast) lyrics

[GENIE] Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves Scheherazade had a thousand tales But master you 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: 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' C'mon whisper what it is you want You ain't never had a friend like me 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 about a little more Baklava? There it is C'mon fellas, help me out 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 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, looky here Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip And then make the s**er disappear? So doncha 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 your chare d'affaires I got a powerful urge to help you out So what-cha wish? I really wanna know You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt Well, all you gotta do is rub like so C'mon, yes Mister 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 Can your friends do this? No really, can they? You're welcome Or maybe, our lucky contestant Would like to wish for a talent of fame Welcome to, Dancing With The Scimitars 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 I would like to bring the house down a little bit Sing a few old cla**ics Couple of favourites of mine I'll get back to you in a second Thank you! Tale as old as time True as it can be Barely even friends Beauty and the... Look at this stuff Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collections complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the genie who has everything? And you'll never hear the wolf cry To the blue corn moon For whether we are white or copper skinned I want adventure in the great wide Ever just the same Ever a surprise Though he's sitting here Watch Al disappear Right before your eyes Yes! Can your friends do this? Can your friends do that? Can your friends do tap? Can your friends do this? Can your friends do that? Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip Gimme a doggy bag, I'm takin' it home Mister 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 had a friend like me You ain't never had a friend like me
