Friend Like Me (From ”Aladdin”)
[Verse 1]
Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherezade 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, pizzaz, yahoo and how
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

[Verse 2]
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?
Hey, 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, yeah, yeah

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

[Verse 3]
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
Oh...aaaaahh
Whoa, whoa
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
