Reached back for the bottle
And rubbed against the lamp
Genie came out smiling

Like some Eastern tramp
He said, hey boy what's happening
What is going on

You can have three wishes
If you don't take too long
If you don't take too long


I said well
I wish they were all happy in the Lebanon

Wish somebody'd help me write this song
And I wish when I was young
My old man had not been gone

Genie said consider it done

There's something in the air

And you don't know what it is
You see someone through the window
Who you've just learned to miss

And the road leads on to glory but
You used up your last wish
Your last wish

And you want her to come home
Bring her home


Genie said I'm sorry
That's the way it goes
Where the hell's the lamp sucker

It's time for me to go
Bye


There's something in the air
And you don't know what it is
You see someone through the window

Who you've just learned to miss
And the road leads on to glory
But you used up your last wish

Your last wish
And you want her to come home
