Lyrics

[01:38.54] Reached back for the bottle
[01:43.17] And rubbed against the lamp
[01:45.78] Genie came out smiling
[01:48.77] Like some Eastern tramp
[01:51.70] He said hey boy what's happening
[01:55.70] What is going on
[01:59.14] You can have three wishes
[02:01.97] If you don't take too long
[02:16.51] I said well
[02:19.14] I wish they all were happy on the Lebanon
[02:24.79] Wish somebody'd help me write this song
[02:30.57] I wish when I was young
[02:34.17] My old man had not been gone
[02:38.01] Genie said consider it done
[02:42.56] There's something in the air
[02:46.15] And you don't know what it is
[02:49.95] You see someone through a window
[02:52.99] Who you've just learned to miss
[02:56.08] And the road leads on to glory but
[02:59.82] You've used up your last wish
[03:02.53] Your last wish
[03:05.56] And you want her to come home
[03:16.88] Genie said I'm sorry
[03:21.97] But that's the way it goes
[03:29.76] Where the hell's lamp sucker
[03:37.20] It's time for me to go
[03:43.42] Bye
[04:37.61] There's something in the air
[04:41.79] And you don't know what it is
[04:45.39] You see someone through a window
[04:48.43] Who you've just learned to miss
[04:51.57] And the road leads on to glory but
[04:55.01] You've used up your last wish
[04:57.87] Your last wish
[05:01.11] And you want her to come home
