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!
