Reached back for the bottle
|
And rubbed against the lamp
|
Genie came out smiling
|
Like some Eastern tramp
|
He said, hey boy what's happening
|
What is going on
|
You can have three wishes
|
If you don't take too long
|
If you don't take too long
|
|
I said
|
Well I wish they were all happy in the Lebanon
|
Wish somebody'd help me write this song
|
And I wish when I was young
|
My old man had not been gone
|
Genie said consider it done
|
|
There's something in the air
|
And you don't know what it is
|
You see someone through the window
|
Who you've just learned to miss
|
And the road leads on to glory but
|
You used up your last wish
|
Your last wish
|
And you want her to come home
|
Bring her home
|
|
Genie said I'm sorry
|
That's the way it goes
|
Where the hell's the lamp sucker
|
It's time for me to go
|
Bye
|
|
There's something in the air
|
And you don't know what it is
|
You see someone through the window
|
Who you've just learned to miss
|
And the road leads on to glory
|
But you used up your last wish
|
Your last wish
|
And you want her to come home
|
