Open Sesame Lyrics

Open sesame

Get down with the genie
Shazam

Groove with the genie

Open sesame of love
Fly, open up your mind

Get down with the genie
Get down with the genie
Get down with the genie

I am the genie of sound
Everybody get down, huah

Open sesame of love

Abracadabra
Get on your camel and ride

Open sesame of love
Alakazam

Get down with the genie

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
