Friend Like Me
Robin Williams Lyrics

Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Ali Baba was a legendary figure with an army of thousands backing him, but you are one lucky person to have me on your side now.

Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales
Scheherezad-ie is well known for her stories that she told each night to save her own life, but none of that can compare to what you're about to experience right now.

But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You are the luckiest person there is because I'm here to help you with all the power I have.

You got a brand of magic never fails
Your new friend has an unbeatable magic that will never let you down, no matter what you desire.

You got some power in your corner now
With your new genie, you have the world at your fingertips and all of your wildest dreams can come true.

Some heavy ammunition in your camp
With this genie on your side, you now have a potent arsenal of resources to draw from to defeat any challenge that may come your way.

You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how
Your new friend comes with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, ready to help you in any way possible.

See all you gotta do is rub that lamp
All it takes is one small gesture to unleash the power of this genie on your life.

And I'll say Mister Aladdin, sir
Your new friend is ready to serve you, addressing you as a respectful 'Mister Aladdin, sir.'

What will your pleasure be?
Tell me what you desire, and I will be sure to make it happen.

Let me take your order
As your trusted servant, I am here to listen to your every wish and desire.

Jot it down
I'm taking mental notes so I can fulfill your every desire in detail.

You ain't never had a friend like me
You've never had a friend like this, who is capable of making all your wishes come true.

Life is your restaurant
Your life is a brand new restaurant now, and I am your esteemed maitre d' to assist in serving up any and every dish you could ever crave.

And I'm your maitre d'
I am your personal helper, working to make every desire you express come to fruition.

C'mon whisper what it is you want
Tell me what you're dreaming of, and I'll help make it a reality.

Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service
We take pride in serving our customers and aim to make you feel like the king or queen you truly are.

You're the boss
You control the genie, and in turn, hold the power to summon and command it to your wishes.

The king, the shah
You are the ruler of your kingdom, and I am here to assist you in whatever you desire, treating you like the king or shah that you are.

Say what you wish
You have the full capacity and freedom to speak out anything you want to come true, and we aim to make it happen with our powers.

It's yours, true dish
Whatever you desire, we can make it happen and serve you with your wish. As your personal genie, your every desire is our true priority.

How about a little more Baklava?
How about another treat, some Baklava perhaps? Whatever it is you crave, we can pull it out of thin air for you.

Have some of column A
We have so many wonderful options, it's best to start with this column A and see where it takes us.

Try all of column B
We're prepared to take your desire to the next level by offering up even more options from column B. There's no end to the possibilities we can explore together.

I'm in the mood to help you dude
Your genie is always in the playful mood to help you out and make all of your wishes come true.

You ain't never had a friend like me
Your new genie is more than just a friend – he's your personal assistant and wants to make all of your wildest dreams come true.

Can your friends do this?
With the genie now at your disposal, you can show all your other friends just how extraordinary your new friend is.

Do your friends do that?
There's no doubt that your other friends can do a lot of great things for you, but can they give you everything you ever wanted at the snap of a finger like your genie can?

Do your friends pull this out their little hat?
Most of your friends may be able to surprise you from time to time, but they likely cannot produce magic out of thin air the way the genie can.

Can your friends go poof?
Your genie has the ability to disappear instantly at your command, something your other friends may struggle with.

Well, looky here
You always have something to look forward to with your genie by your side, who can always surprise you with new things.

Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip
While your friends might be able to say 'abracadabra', they can't perform any magic trick as spectacular as the genie, who can make the impossible possible just by a wave of hand.

And then make the sucker disappear?
Whether it's a person or an object, the genie can make whatever you want disappear out of thin air, adding to the endless possibilities your new genie can help you achieve.

So dontcha sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed
Don't be amazed by the genie's powers anymore, because he is here to help you out and make all your dreams come true.

I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
Whenever you need, day or night, the genie is always here to help and fulfill all your prayers.

You got me bona fide, certified
Your genie is professionally qualified to assist you with anything you need, and is always bona fide in doing so.

You got a genie for your chargé d'affaires
The genie is here to help you out, answering all your queries and taking care of everything you require, acting as your key advisor and assistant.

I got a powerful urge to help you out
Your genie is always looking for an opportunity to help fulfill your desires and make your life easier.

So what-cha wish?
What do you desire? Whatever it is, your genie is ready and waiting to make it happen for you.

I really want to know
Your genie takes great pride and interest in learning about your deepest desires so that he can make them all come true.

You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Your genie is well aware of your long list of desires and dreams, which he is eager to help fulfill.

Well, all you gotta do is rub like so - and oh
Your genie is just a rub away, and as soon as you summon him, he will be ready to make all your deepest wishes come true, and oh – how amazing it will feel!

Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three
As your trusted friend and servant, your genie is here to fulfill all your wildest dreams and desires, and is always asking you for any and all wishes at your service.

I'm on the job, you big nabob
Your genie takes his work and job very seriously, always ready and waiting for your next command, and you as a big boss, drive the genie towards action.

You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You have never had a friend like the genie before, with the power to make all your dreams come true, and serve you in ways that are truly limitless.

You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
Your genie is so much more than a friend, he's a lifelong assistant, serving you with every tool at his disposal to make your life as magical as possible.

You ain't never had a friend like me
This phrase is repeated as a reminder of the incredible potential that lies within your genie's abilities, and how he can turn even the most impossible fantasies into a wonderful reality.

Hah!
A final chuckle underlies the genie's confidence and excitement on the discovery of a new friend in you, and your amazing journey that awaits ahead.
