| Chris: | The lamp, |

| Chorus: | Well, what about the lamp? |

| Genie: | One moment, one moment, one moment! I met a girl who said, "Propriety and etiquette are laid upon the shelf;" She said, "Come off" and "Quit it," "Get a gait," and "Chase yourself!" Nor did she hesitate a bit In negatives to use a "Nit," In sporty chatter she'd merrily patter, In language impolite; From too much boozing, I dropt into snoozing, And the lamp got out of sight. |
| Chorus: | 'Tis found! |
| Others: | 'Tis found! |
| Chris: | The lamp! |
| Aladdin: | The lamp! |

| Aladdin: | They say! |

| Aladdin: | They say! |
| Fanny: | They say! |
| Chorus: | We say the lamp is found! |
| Fanny: | Hooray! |
| Chris & Aladdin: | Hooray! |
| Genie: | One moment! one moment! one moment! I know it was that girl. |
| Aladdin, Genie & others: | They are fast asleep. |
| All: | Awake, sleepers! |
| Men: | Hear us call thee to rise. |
| All: | Awake, sleepers! |
| Men: | Let us gaze on thine eyes. |
| All: | Oh, ope thine eyes, |
| Men: | fair sleepers, |
| All: | Ope thine eyes... |
| Fanny: | No guardian of the peace can with thee trot, Or match thee in a dozing bee; The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot, And not to be compared at all to thee. |
| Aladdin & Captain: | At all to thee, great sleepers, |
| All: | Sleepers, awake. The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot, wakeful lot, |
| Chorus: | Awake, |
| Principals: | No guardian of the peace
can with thee trot, Or match thee in a dozing bee; The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot, And not to be compared at all to thee. |
| Men: | Awake, awake, |
| Fanny: | The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot. |
| Men: | Awake, awake, |
| Fanny: | The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot. |
| All: | Sleepers, awake! The seven sleepers were a wakeful lot compared to thee. Awake, awake, awake. |
