GENIE (Pete Ham)
[from Keyhole Street: Demos 1966-67 CD - recorded 1967 - released U.S. 2013]

I am the genie of your lamp
Yeah, that's my name
And though the lamp is made of skin
It works the same
When you touch me once or twice
Your wish is my command
Then you are my master
And I'll do what you demand

I am the genie of your lamp
I am your genie
I am your lamp
Don't ever free me
Don't make me go
I'll be your genie
Forever more

I've grown accustomed to the feeling of my skin
And I've grown to like it living here within
Knowing that you'll come along
And rub me every day
When you do
I know that all my blues will go away (Go away)

I am the genie of your lamp
I am your genie
I am your lamp
Don't ever free me
Don't make me go
I'll be your genie
Forever more

[keyboard solo]

I am the genie of your lamp
I am your genie
I am your lamp
Don't ever free me
Don't make me go
I'll be your genie
Forever more
