The Genie
v
I let that Genie outa it's bottle again
when he's out can't get him back in
Up to now haven't a wish come true
but I'll keep openin' bottles until I do

c Got old friends here Jim and Jack,
and a Genie sat 'most every chair
here to help get my baby back
hey Genie's any wishes goin' spare
v
I'll need your magic carpet ride tonight
this designated drunk is ready for a flight
Take me away to some hot exotic places
pick up my baby lets find an oasis

c Got old friends here Jim and Jack,
and a Genie sat 'most every chair
here to help get my baby back
hey Genie's any wishes goin' spare
v
Think the number of Genie's in this room
git off their ass's,bring me luck soon
'Many bottles as you'd find on some wall
just grant me one lousy wish that's all

Outro
Genie why do you darn well torment me?
When you couldn't arrange a booze up
in 'Ole Jack Daniels distillery

This is pretty good, it's fun and interesting at the same time, there's some good detail in it. I think it's a good spin on something that could very easily be cliched. Nice one.

When I read the title I didn't know what to expect but this is really good and delightfully clever. I love the chorus, really was not what I expected from the title. I don't know if you have a particular style in mind but I feel this is quite versatile; I can picture it being quite a good country song yet I can also see it working equally as well as a Pop or Indie/Pop song. You've kept it really simple and haven't tried to complicate things and it has worked an absolute treat. Initially I thought from the title this would be a 'bubblegum' Pop type love song but I've been pleasantly surprised as in a way this is outside the box thinking.
