Menken & Ashman)



Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves

Scheherazad-ie 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 you 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 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

Its yours! true dish

How about a little more Baklava?



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



Can your friends do this?

Do your friends do that?

Do your friendd pulls 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 sucker 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 charge d'affaires

I got a powerful eurge to help you out

So what-cha? I really want to know

You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt

Well, all you gotta do is rub like so- and oh



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, hah
