[Jafar]

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 then which you are

We're just as shocked as you are

That you're a diamond in the rough

[Aladdin]

Hey I'm no diamond in the rough

[Jafar]

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

[Iago]

Happy place

[Jafar]

Apologies

What I meant to say is

You just don't know how swell you are

[Iago]

You just don't know how swell you are

[Jafar]

So far the only hitch is

[Iago]

There's just an itty bitty hitch

[Jafar]

You're an embarrassment of riches

[Iago]

Embarrassing too true

[Jafar]

You are the diamond in the rough

[Iago]

Let's all rejoice the spooky voice said you're the diamond in the

Rough

[Jafar]

Look here's the diamond in the

[Iago]

Three cheers, the diamond in the

[Jafar & Iago]

We found the diamond in the rough

[Aladdin]

You better find somebody else

[Jafar]

There is nobody else

[Iago]

Talk about the girl

[Jafar]

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

[Aladdin]

Which way is this cave of yours?

[Jafar]

That a boy!

Go

Through

You

Might be a bum

But you're one

Of noble spirit

[Iago]

It's just a cave that might eat you alive

No need to fear it

[Aladdin]

Well it's a risk that I might have to take

[Jafar & Iago]

We're glad to hear it

[Jafar]

So please no missteps or blunders

[Iago]

Cue the Cave of Wonders

[Jafar & Iago]

We've waited long enough

[Cave Of Wonders]

Who disturbs my slumber

[Aladdin]

Uhh, it is I, Aladdin

[Cave Of Wonders]

You are the diamond in the rough

The one whose worth lies deep within

You may enter

[Aladdin]

I don't believe it

My mother always said if I only applied myself

If I only believed

[Jafar]

We don't have time for self-discovery

Fetch me the lamp

Now!

[Aladdin]

Wish me luck

[Jafar]

Luck!

Goodbye you diamond in the

[Iago]

Please try you diamond in the

[Jafar & Iago]

Don't die you diamond in the rough

[Jafar]

At last
