Thief of Baghdad

Junior wished to be as big in the oil business as his namesake father

He wished to be the one to rule the World just like old George Senior

He wished to reign supreme over Baghdad unlike his famous father

He wished to become a popular President with an enduring heritage

As all know the genie free of the bottle only grants the three wishes

This thief said mission accomplished but no flying carpet this time

Say it is not so that the dynasty is busy searching for another bottle
