Three wishes
Reached back for the bottleAnd rubbed against the lampGenie came out smilingLike some Eastern tramp
He said hey boy what's happening?What is going on?You can have three wishesIf you don't take too longIf you don't take too long
I said, wellI wish they were all happy in the LebanonWish somebody’d help me write this songI wish when I was youngMy old man had not been gone
Genie said consider it done
Oh, there's something in the airAnd you don't know what it isYou see someone through the windowWho you've just learned to miss
And the road leads on to gloryBut you've used up your last wishYour last wishAnd you want her to come home
Bring her home!
Genie said I'm sorryBut that's the way it goesWhere the hell's the lamp, suckerIt's time for me to goBye
Oh, there's something in the airAnd you don't know what it isYou see someone through the windowWho you've just learned to miss
And the road leads on to gloryBut you've used up your last wishYour last wishAnd you want her to come home
