One Jump Ahead

[Aladdin:]
Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
- That's Everything!

One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

[Crowd:]
Riffraff! Street rat! Soundrel! Take that!

[Aladdin:]
Just a little snack, guys
[Crowd:]
Rip him open, take it back, guys
[Aladdin:]
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Abu!
[Crowd:]
Who?
He's become a a one-man rise in crime
I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em
[Aladdin:]
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!

One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom Next time gonna use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block

[Crowd:]
Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!

[Aladdin:]
Let's not be too hasty
[Lady:]
Still I think he's rather tasty
[Aladdin:]
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
[Crowd:]
Wrong!

[Aladdin:]
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
[Crowd:]
Vandal!

[Aladdin:]
One hop ahead of the hump
[Crowd:]
Street rat!

[Aladdin:]
One trick ahead of disaster
[Crowd:]
Scoundrel!

[Aladdin:]
They're quick, but I'm much faster
[Crowd:]
Take that!

[Aladdin:]
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump
