I don't know which lyrics are correct, but here's what I thought it said:

I just wanted to toss my 2 cents in on this...
What I hear for these lyrics is:
Before the genie could answer me, well, someone came and took the lamp
away
I looked around. A lousy camel was all I found...
-Z
Bill Ludwig
The line is "lousy candle's all I found..."
Here are the complete lyrics:
MAGIC CARPET RIDE Steppenwolf
I like to dream, yes I do
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Every place she goes is right
Flies far, flies near
To the stars away from here
Well, you don't know what
We can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what
We can find
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
CHORUS
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
Last night I found Aladdin's lamp
So I wished that I could stay
But before the thing could answer me
Someone came and took the lamp away I looked
Around
A lousy candle's all I found
Well, you don't know what
We can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what
We can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
CHORUS
