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 than 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

Uh, 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're 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 shine 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

Though

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

Good bye, you diamond in the

Please try, you diamond in the

Don't die, you diamond in the rough

At last
