Alan Menken & Original Broadway Cast of Aladdin
This is the song after Aladdin uses his second wish to free himself and his friends from the dungeon. It replaces the underwater drowning scene in the original film.
[GENIE]
As a teenie Genie
I would dare to dream
I'd be given freedom free and clear
So forgive me if I sing
Or make a whole big thing
But I just can't maintain my cool veneer
You don't mind if I squeal, do you?
[ALADDIN]
Be my guest!
[GENIE]
Oooooh! I can't believe this is actually happening!
[ALADDIN]
You save me
Then I'll save you
I won't bail a 23 Skidoo
Say ain't it great to know somebody's got your back
[GENIE]
I'll free you in one second
I wanna sing this one little verse
That I owe you
That you owe me
Means we're Ollie Ollie Oxen Free!
Say ain't it great to know that somebody's got your back!
[BOTH]
Ooooooh!
[GENIE]
I always knew that I could trust you kid
[BOTH]
Ooooooh!
It's quid pro-quo then it's quo-pro-quid!
[GENIE]
I knew you'd see that fair is fair
[ALADDIN]
Cross my heart and double pinky swear
[BOTH]
Say ain't it great to know that somebody's got your back
Say ain't it great to know that somebody's got your back!
[GENIE]
No, after you
Sure I'll take it
[BABKAK, OMAR, KASSIM]
Hello?
[BABKAK, OMAR, ALADDIN, KASSIM]
Alright!
Ooooooh!
Without Genie, we don't stand a chance!
Ooooooh!
This is the start of a fine bromance!
Our bond will last like Mutt and Jeff's
OMG the guys are BFFs!
Say ain't it great to know that somebody's got your back!
It's give and take!
It's tit for tat!
We gonna divvy things up
I down with that
[GENIE]
Because kaboom kablam
Comes easily
It's part of Genie Genie-ology!
[BABKAK, OMAR, ALADDIN, KASSIM]
We don't do tricks
Like Genies do
But we got your back
And sing back up too!
Sayin' ain't it great to know that somebody's got your
Ain't it great to know that somebody's got your
Ain't it great to know that somebody's got your
Baaaack!
