Lyrics

Well, A li Ba ba had them for ty thieves.

Sche her a za de had a thou sand tales.

But, Mas ter, you in luck ’cause up your sleeves you got a brand of mag ic nev er fails.

You got some pow er in your cor ner now, some heav y am mu ni tion in your camp.

You got some punch, pi zazz, ya hoo and how.

See all you got ta do is rub that lamp.

And I’ll say:

Mis ter A lad din, sir, what will your pleas ure be?

Let take your or der, jot it down.

You ain’t nev er had a friend, nev er had a friend, you ain’t nev er had a friend, nev er had a friend.

You ain’t nev er

had a

friend

like

me.

Wa ah ah.

Wa ah ah.

You ain’t nev er had a friend like me.

Ha!
