Lyrics
Film= Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves Scheherezad-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 your order Jot it down You ain't never had a friend like me

Life is your restaurant And I'm your maître 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? 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

Wah-wah-wah! (Oh my!) Wah-wah-wah! (No no!) Wah-wah-wah! (My my my!) (Scats)

Can your friends do this? Can your friends do that? Can your friends pull this out their little hat? Can your friends go, poof?

Hey, looky here. Ha ha!

Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip And then make the sucker disappear? So don'tcha 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 chargé d'affaires I got a powerful urge to help you out So whatcha 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 - 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

Ah ha ha!

Wah ha ha!

You ain't never had a friend like me (Scat fill) Can you give me a "bada-yada-yada"? (Aladdin repeat) Good! Scotty-wop (Aladdin repeat) Everybody! Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo (Audience repeat) (Scat fill) Hit it!

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 old Al by the hand Swing him 'round 'till he can't stand Chicken in a basket, sparrow on a tree Never had a friend like me

"I'd like to bring the house down a little bit, sing a few old classics, couple of favorites of mine. I'll get back to you in a second! Thank you!"

Tale as old as time

"Thank you, thank you very much."

True as it can be Barely even friends Beauty and the...

Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the genie Who has everything?

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, oh

"Yes!"

Can you friends do this? Can you friends do that? Can you friends do tap?

Can you friends do this? Can you friends do that? Can your friends go abracadabra, let 'er rip?

"Give me a doggy bag; 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 (Never) Had a (Had a) Friend like (A friend like) Me Never had a friend like me
