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 bubbles?
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, which you 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
Uh, I dunno guys
I 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 said
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?
Atta 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 missteps 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!
