Nothing Like a Friend

GENIE:
I parachuted down into the Taj Mahal
I rode a rickshaw all along the great Great Wall!
I even made the famous Leaning Tower fall,
But who was with me through it all?
Nobody!
The Moscow Circus hired me to fly trapeze
On Mount Olympus won a race with Hercules
It's easy when you're chased by killer bees
Who said "geshundheit" when I sneezed
So now I'm home
Home again with you
You chase the clouds away
Whenever I am blue
And the pyramids I highly recommend
There is nothing in the world quite like a friend
Slept like a babe in Bombay on a bed of nails
Moroccans loved my daring dance of seven veils
I single-handedly I even saved the whales
No one was there to hear my tales!
In Acapulco joined a Mariachi band
I rode the ragin' rapids down the Rio Grande
Flew in a air balloon, but when I tried to land
Nobody laughed, or lent a hand
Without you, the Amazon is just a trickle
Without you, the Sahara's not so hot
Without you, Niagara Falls is just a leaky faucet
And the QEII is just some yacht
Now that I'm home,
Home again, it's clear,
All I ever wanted
Seems to be right here
I've traveled East and West
And now, I'm back again
And there's nothing in the world quite like a friend
ALADDIN:
There's nothing in the world
JASMINE:
Nothing in the whole wide world
ALL:
There is nothing in the world quite like a friend
GENIE:
Nothin' in the whole wide world! |
