G            D          Em 
Jeff found a genie in a bottle 
           C                           D 
Who said, "I can give you anything you ask 
        G                 D 
You can have your wishes, three 
      Em 
And a million more for free 
       C            D             G 
It's unlimited just set me to the task" 


      G             D                    Em 
Well, Jeff thought awhile, said, "I want houses 
       C                          D 
I want boats, I want fancy modern art 
       G              D 
I want tickets to the MET 
       Em 
I want my own private jet 
      C           D                G 
And a rocket into space just for a start!" 


          G               D                Em 
Well, the genie waved her arms and made it happen 
    C                          D 
His every wish bolted from the blue 
    G              D 
And folks all over town 
     Em 
Grew enamored, gathered 'round 
     C                D               G 
To admire the man who wishes had come true 


                  C               D           G 
They said, "Let's hear it for the man who has everything 
        C              D           Em 
By good fortune he was set so far apart 
           C           D              G 
Yeah let's hear it for Jeff who's got everything 
           C          D           G 
'Cause his wishes are only at the start" 


      G                D                  Em 
Well, Jeff heard their shouts and he grew worried 
          C                         D 
He said, "Everybody's getting in my way" 
          G           D 
The genie smiled as before 
              Em 
"You've got a million wishes more 
        C           D             G 
You can even give a bunch of them away" 


      G           D               Em 
Well, Jeff got confused and sorta quiet 
        C                                   D 
'Til he finally said, "I have just one wish more 
G         D 
I am satisfied 
     Em 
So I wish that you would die 
       C            D         G 
So you cannot grant wishes anymore" 


          G                D               Em 
Well, the genie's eyes got big and sad and shiny 
         C                              D 
'Til she finally said, "Your wish is my command" 
            G            D 
And with an effervescent sigh 
        Em 
She disappeared before his eyes 
       C                D             G 
And no wishes were ever granted there again 


         C               D           G 
So let's hear it for the man who has everything 
        C              D           Em 
By good fortune he was set so far apart 
           C           D              G 
Yeah let's hear it for Jeff who's got everything 
      C              D              G 
Every single fucking thing except a heart
