Tim Rice - Legend of the Lamp lyrics

Ah, Salaam and Good Evening to you, my dear friend. Please, please come closer... [Camera hits Peddler] Ah uh, too close, a little to close... [Camera pulls back] There. Welcome to Agrabah, city of mystery, of enchantment... [takes out a table full of stuff] And the finest merchandise this side of the River Jordan, on sale today! Come on down, heh heh... Look at this, yes, he he, combination hooka and coffee maker, also makes julienne fries! It will not break! It will not... It broke. Oh, look at this, I have never seen one of these intact before... This is the famous Dead Sea Tupperware. Listen *pfft* ah, still good. Ha ha. [Camera starts leaving] Wait, don't go! I can see that you are only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think, then, you will be most rewarded to consider this. [Takes out a lamp] Do not be fooled by its common-place appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man, who like this lamp, was more than what he seemed... A diamond in the rough.
