Diamond in the Rough
You're the one that I need
You're nimble,
Stealthy, skilled
Do you want to continue abusing those skills?
Stealing bits of bread and worthless bobbles
Or do you want to make a name for yourself?
And do something that would make any mother proud?
You have the profile of a prince
With a physique that matches
Beneath the dirt and patches
You are a diamond in the rough
I say we work together since
You're braver then we two are
We're just as shocked as you are
That you're a diamond in the rough
Hey, I'm no diamond in the rough
Under the filth and the fleas
There are gifts that you've been neglecting
And truth be told you are not
Quite the guy that we were expecting
And though you might need finesse
And perhaps some disinfecting
You'll be the one who succeeds when the lamp of their needs collecting
Uhhh, I dunno guys, I've got a funny feeling about this.
I better just be on my way.
Take one step and die you brainless miscreant! (Happy place!)
Apologies
What I meant to say is
You just don't know how swell you are
(You just don't know how swell you are!)
So far the only hitch is (There's just an itty bitty hitch)
You're an embarrassment of riches (Embarrassing Too true!)
You are the diamond in the rough
Let's all rejoice the spooky voice and you're the diamond in the
Rough!
Look here's the diamond in the
Three cheers, the diamond in the
We found the diamond in the rough!
You better find somebody else!
There is nobody else
Talk about the girl
Oh
Then, of course there's Princess Jasmine
It's clear she took a shying to you
But, let me be frank
With no cash in the bank
You'll never win her heart
It just tears me apart
To see her slip right through your fingers
Which way is this cave of yours?
That a boy!
Go
Through!
You
Might be a bum
But you're one
Of noble spirit
It's just a cave that might eat you alive
No need to fear it!
Well it's a risk that I might have to take
We're glad to hear it
So please no misstep or blunders
Cue the cave of wonders
We've waited long enough
Who disturbs my slumber?
Uh, it is I, Aladdin
You are the diamond in the rough
The one whose worth lies deep within
You may enter
I don't believe it
My mother always said
That if I only applied myself
If I only believed
We don't have time for self discovery
Fetch me the lamp
Now
Wish me luck
Luck
Goodbye, you diamond in the
Please try, you diamond in the
Don't die, you diamond in the rough
At last
You're nimble,
Stealthy, skilled
Do you want to continue abusing those skills?
Stealing bits of bread and worthless bobbles
Or do you want to make a name for yourself?
And do something that would make any mother proud?
You have the profile of a prince
With a physique that matches
Beneath the dirt and patches
You are a diamond in the rough
I say we work together since
