The Lyrics

As all-powerful beings go, genies really drew the short straw, didn't they?
Genie, ooh-ooh
Hate that I'm a genie, it sucks (ow! Oh)

Oy, I'm sick of dealin' with these total dorks (ah-ooh)
Wastin' all their wishes on the same shit, I'm so bored (oh)
To have all the money? Alright (uh), have their crush love 'em? No dice (uh, ah-ooh)
Been through this whole song and dance before, yeah (ha-ah)
And ev'ry single time, won't heed the words of mine (ha-ah)
"That "think your wish through" line's so trite" (ow!)

And when all the consequences rain down on their head
Blame the genie, afraid so, genie, my job blows
Might've wished for money but you're gonna blow right through it
Blame the genie, afraid so, genie, my job blows
Genie, ooh-ooh
Hate that I'm a genie, it sucks, hate that I'm a genie, it sucks
My job blows, genie, ooh-ooh
Hate that I'm a genie, it sucks, hate that I'm a genie, it sucks
My job blows (oh)

Then some people are all wary 'cause they claim (ah-ooh)
That I'm gonna screw them over, twist the words they say (oh)
They wish they were taller then I (uh) shrink the whole friggin' world's height (uh, ah-ooh)
That's within my power but insane, ooh, buddy (ha-ah)
I've pulled that trick sometimes when I thought that it might (hoo-ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh) (ha-ah)
Bring me a smile, that time's gone by (ow!)

Now I only twist when some douche sets me up for it
Crafty genie when they blow, genie, afraid so
What's that? A chick magnet? You're a rooster now, real great wish
Exit genie, can't speak, so genie can now go
Genie, ooh-ooh
Sometimes this whole genie thing rocks, sometimes this whole genie thing rocks
Does not blow, genie, ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh, buddy)
Sometimes this whole genie thing rocks, sometimes this whole genie thing rocks
Does not blow

Bum-bum, bum-bum, ba-da-dum-bum, bum-bum
Ba-da-dum-bum, bum-bum (oh-oh-oh), ba-da-dum-bum, bum-bum (oh-oh, he-e-ey)
Genie, this genie, this genie, this genie, this genie, this genie, this genie, this genie is stuck
Ha-ooh, ha-ooh-ooh, ha-ooh
Genie, this genie, this genie, this genie, this genie, this genie, this genie, this genie is stuck
Ha-ooh, ha-ooh-ooh, ha-ooh
Whoo!

No-one seems to want to (oh-oh-oh-ayy) free me with their final wish
As a genie I'll stay, blows, genie (oh-oh no, buddy) I'll stay, blows
Sure, they tend to use it cleanin' up all their wished-for mess
So a genie I'll stay, blows, genie (blows) I'll stay, blows
Genie, ooh-ooh
As a bottled genie, I'm stuck, as a bottled genie, I'm stuck (buddy)
Man, this blows, genie, whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh
As a bottled genie, I'm stuck (hey), as a bottled genie, I'm stuck (it's not right)
Man, this blows, genie, ooh-ooh
As a bottled genie, I'm stuck (don't want to be a genie), as a bottled genie, I'm stuck (no-one can wish right)
Man, this blows, genie, ooh-ooh
As a bottled genie, I'm stuck (whoo!), as a bottled genie, I'm stuck
Man, this blows

I really wanted to fit the phrase "semi-phenomenal, nearly-cosmic powers" into the bit about how no-one wants to free the poor genie, with them willing to take a reduction or even no powers to get out of there, but I didn't think I could make it fit without it being super clunky. Also it requires people to get the reference to one of the Disney Aladdin sequels, which might not be likely.
