Nice Genie Trust Me I'm a Genie

I was hit by a can, opened it, and out popped a genie!

# Three wishes set me free

# Trust me, I'm a genie

# Wish one - and on that first day

# I got my very own cafe - Taa-daa!

# Wish two - that was cool

# I got my own swimming pool - Hee-hee!

# But then I dropped the magic can

# It filled with sand

# And the works got jammed

# Wish three - a total catastrophe

# The genie raved and ranted

# But no third wish was granted

# If one more wish comes true

# Then I'll be free from you

# Trust me, I'm a genie. #

Chores done. Now I can lie by the pool all day long.

Uh-uh! Hang on, buddy. Aren't you forgetting something?

It's wish time!

I don't feel like making a wish today.

I just want to stay by the pool.

Come on, lazybones.

If you really want to relax, how about a cryogenic sleep chamber?

Just wake up every thousand years

at the end of the millennium - party time!

Oh, forget it. Today I just want to relax by the pool.

NO wishes!

Diego, you said you'd help me out with some chores.

-I thought you were helping ME, Diego.

-You?

No, no, no! Diego's helping me today.

Wooh! Help Joe, help Zazie, help Tony, help Larry.

I've double-triple-quadruple booked myself!

Oh well, if I PROMISED to help out...

What? You can't make a wish,

but you can do other people's stupid odd jobs?! Chores shmores!

I was here first, so my needs are greater.

Now...about that wish...

Ziggy, that was unnecessary! Now they're all mad at me.

Sometimes I just WISH you'd be nice and helpful to everyone.

Just for one day.

Hmmm. One day, huh?

Done!

I call upon the powers that be to make me nice!

And set me free!

What?

What a scam! Did you win them at the funfair,

or find them in a pack of washing powder, or something?

Wait a second. There must be something...

Hey, selfish genie! Don't you know it's rude to stare?

I really need someone smart and strong to help me,

and the smartest and strongest guy I know is you, Ziggy.

Oh, Joe. It's an honour to help you.

I need to retune. Only be a second.

-Thanks for your help, Ziggy.

-No problem.

-You really ARE being nice and helpful.

-That was a piece of cake.

You managed to hold up that huge satellite dish for two hours

and thirty-eight minutes! Impressive!

Ho-ho! So, these glasses make everything look easy.

This wish is going to be so fulfilled.

This is going to make me rich.

Smiley masks to make the pessimists of the world feel better.

-I only need to draw up one more.

-No problem!

He took it really well when I said I needed 100,000 more.

Ziggy's such a nice guy!

Thanks, Ziggy! You're a dude, man.

Y-Y-You're welcome!

Huh, this nice and helpful shtick ain't so bad after all.

This is for you. I'm so proud of your new attitude, Ziggy...

Oops.

Oops?! Oops?! Diego! YOU...silly sausage.

Hey, guys, are you ready to help out?

I need some plant specimens gathering.

Come on, Ziggy. Even without those spectacles,

you can be nice through willpower alone.

Think about your freedom!

Yikes! I can't do it!

Diego, buddy, please!

You've got to help me out.

Of course I will, Ziggy.

Wow, Ziggy! You're so eager to bring me the best.

Uh, don't mention it.

One more to go.

Hey, Diego. Grab that one.

Oh, it's really awkward!

Ziggy, can you help?

Don't pull so hard, Ziggy. You're going to rip the whole dune out!

B-B-But that was my favourite sand boarding dune!

Yeah, well, these things happen.

Ziggy, wouldn't it be nice if we helped Larry fix it.

Of course it would. Sure thing.

Wow! That's awesome! Thank you, guys!

Woo-wee!

Go, boy, go!

Brilliant!

-Now, my beauty, you're ready for the real thing.

-Argh!

Gangway!

Oh, I've been training that bird all week!

Where am I going to get another one now?

I'm sorry, Tony. Maybe we can help?

OK, I'll fix it.

Wow! Ziggy! That's impressive!

Er...that's the one for me!

Ziggy, they won't leave me alone! And I've got no more seed!

Stop it! Stop it!

Ah-ah-ah-ahchoo!

How...did...this...happen?

Diego!

I guess we better clean Joe's house, Ziggy!

I guess we better had.

-Ooh, sorry!

-No problem!

I so need a break. Like a year!

Oh, could you please find a little time to help me out?

Ziggy, there's just one more thing, mate...

-You've been so helpful all day...

-If it's not too much to ask...

Argh! They all want a piece of me, Diego!

I can only give so much blood, sweat and forced goodwill!

Aw, stop the dramas, Ziggy!

You're doing a great job!

Everybody's really happy, thanks to you.

And if it wasn't really important, they wouldn't bother you with it.

OK! What can I do for you this time?

Yo, cool! What I really, really want is a lake for water-skiing.

I really, really need an extension on my bio-dome.

Here's the planning permission and architect's drawings.

I just need some keys picking up.

From this little place called Fort Knox...where they keep the gold.

Yeah, it's just a simple thing.

Is there a possibility of getting my own genie?

Do you have a spare relative hanging around somewhere?

-HE SIGHS

-I'll see what I can do.

I can't take this any more, Diego!

Diego, you fixed them!

This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.

Nothing is going to stop me now.

'Good morning! Genies R Us hotline. How can I help you today?'

I'd like to order a powerful genie for my friend Joe.

My work is done. Here comes freedom!

I think my repair job might not have worked out so well, Ziggy.

What? What d'you mean?

Ah-ha!

'Good morning! Helpful Grannies To The Rescue.

'How can I help you today?'

Uh, I'd like to order a powerful genie for my friend Joe.

Are you sure you're a genie?

I've already told you. My NAME is Jeanie.

Oh! Will this nightmare never end?

-What's going on?

-Help!

I'm sorry. I'll put it right, I promise!

Really, we all appreciate you trying,

but if it was all too much, then you only had to say.

-We didn't REALLY need all those things.

-What?!

You didn't need all those things?

Thanks for trying?!

Well, don't you worry. I said I'd put it right, and I will!

There! Back to normal! Everyone happy now?

Next time you want something doing, you can do it for yourself!

It was good to see you helping out so much, Ziggy.

-But I'm glad the old you is back.

-What was I thinking?

Trying to be so nice to THAT bunch of clowns?!

And as for you, mister! You're one heck of a guy, Diego!

The best friend and master a genie could ask for.

One day, I'll make that wish work.

Till then, I can't think of a better place to be

than this oasis of friendliness.
