How Quick They Forget is a deleted song from Aladdin.

Song Lyrics
Say, you wouldn't go break up the old act would ya, pal? After all these years, that wouldn't be real nice Nah, you couldn't go break up the act, now could ya, pal? Yes, he could, without so much as thinking twice - amazing!

I guess we won't swap those barbershop harmonies no more You can't sing 'em with three, you gotta have four And ain't it a crime, a real crying shame Screwed up and all wet We used to be thick How quick they forget

Here's how it becomes a guitar, bass and drums, without a horn That saxophone leaves, and a trio is born Not much does it take to go out 'n' break A nice matching set Not much of a trick How quick they forget

Like three blind mice Or three on a matchstick Three makes only three Him plus him plus me Makes us. . . whoopee!

Let's see, three bears And three little kittens Signed, sealed, said, and done One plus one plus one Makes what? . . . No fun

We're not what we were Any fool would prefer Any four-handed game There's nothing that squares Without two complete pairs So it's just not the same

And I guess we ain't got no more Of those hot old nights in store Our future looks dull, a regular snore And what is it for? Why go busting up a happy quartet? He's all out of tune How soon they forget

Well, ain't it a sin It's a real crying shame Three fellas is left One fella's to blame Don't want it to end Not now and not yet It makes a guy sick How quick they forget

Just three little pigs Out hustling gigs from door to door What used to be fun Sans one is a chore As all of that "Put 'er there old pal Hail-fellow-well-met" Fades into the past How quick they forget

He thinks he's so chic How quick they forget We went and broke up the clique How quick they forget That guy's a real yick How quick they forget How quick, how quick They forget
