Aladdin's Lamp
Over all the world I'll tramp
Till I find Aladdin's Lamp:
When I have it, I shall keep
In my rabbit-hutch, asleep,
Till I find Aladdin's Lamp:
When I have it, I shall keep
In my rabbit-hutch, asleep,
Black of hair and bright of eye,
Willing at my slightest cry,
Quick to vanish, big and brave,
Such a Genie for my slave!
Willing at my slightest cry,
Quick to vanish, big and brave,
Such a Genie for my slave!
Then if any robbers come,
Searching in our sleepy home,
Tho' the silver spoons they take,
I shan't worry when I wake.
Searching in our sleepy home,
Tho' the silver spoons they take,
I shan't worry when I wake.

Anything that mother wants
Must be fetched from farthest haunts,
Sinbad's valley, plain or hill,
For the Genie has the skill.
Must be fetched from farthest haunts,
Sinbad's valley, plain or hill,
For the Genie has the skill.
Mother says that Persia's rose
Sweetens more than Europe knows,
So, of course, my slave will run
Picking out the finest one!
Sweetens more than Europe knows,
So, of course, my slave will run
Picking out the finest one!
