Whee Baby Lyrics

I read an old fairy story, whee baby, couldn't put it down
There was a man named Aladdin, he had the greatest lamp in town
And with the lamp was a genie, whee baby, what that guy could do!
I says, "Hey gen'e you're terrific, just bring the lamp and I'm with you!"
The lamp belonged to Aladdin, that's what the genie said
I said, "Ah, he wouldn't miss it", I guess I lost my head

I saw an oil well in Texas, whee baby, just imagine that
I saw my name on the oil well, whee baby, bought a stetson hat
I bought a real fancy mansion, whee baby, cost a lot of dough
It had a real marble bathtub, whee baby, where that genie go?
Whee baby, what that guy could do
Whee bay, genie I'm with you

You know I talkеd to that genie, whee baby, what a thing to do
I says, "If you'll leavе Aladdin, I'll get you in the movies too!"
He got a call from Aladdin, he left me in a puff of smoke;
And then, you know somethin' funny, whee baby, dill I wound up broke
There he goes
There he goes
Whee baby, there he goes
Whee baby
Whee baby
Whee
