[ Featuring Adam Jacobs, James Monroe Iglehart ]
Oh, wait (you know), what?
Wait, wait, wait, wait (what?)
Well, Alan, he gets the ballads, he gets three of them
(You want a ballad?) He gets three of them
I'd like a ballad (tada, alright)
You know-, okay, well (gi-give him the ballad)
I'm the genie, da, da, da, da, da
Well, ca-ca-can we do a ballad you wrote?
(Sure) okay, I found one
I can do the ballad now (do it), okay
I have often dreamed of a far-off place
Where a hero's welcome will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Yeah, we gotta get the genie a ballad
See? See? (No, see) I can do it
(What else you got on that list there?)
I got another ballad, but it's a little bit different, um, "Kiss the Girl"
That? Yes, you read my mind
Wanna help me out with this?
(You got it) okay, good
There you see her, sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her
And you don't know why, but you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Yes, you want her, look at her, you know you do
And possible she wants you to, there is one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl, sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my oh my, look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl (wow-wow)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, ain't that sad? A little shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl
Oh, oh, I got an idea (what's this?)
This time, I'll, I-I'll be the small guy and you be the big guy
(Alright)
No one's slick as Gaston, no one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck as incredibly thick as Gaston
For there's no man in ten half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon
You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on
No one's been like Gaston, a kingpin like Gaston
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
My, what a guy, that Gaston
Ye-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
(Don't you know this one?) Yeah, alright
Bless my soul, Herc was on a roll
Person of the Week in every Greek opinion poll
What a pro, Herc could stop a show
Point him at a monster and you're talking SRO
He was a no one, a zero, zero
Now he's a hot shot, he's a hero
He was a kid with his act down pat
From zero to hero in no time flat
Zero to hero, just like that
There, see?
That's the kind of stuff I'd like to do in the show
(Alright, let's do it)
