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! |

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. |
