One Jump Ahead - OST Aladdin

[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! Scoundrel! 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?

[Ladies:]       Oh it's sad Aladdin's hit the bottom
               He's become 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
               (Vandal!)
               One hop ahead of the hump
               (Street rat!)
               One trick ahead of disaster
               (Scoundrel!)
               They're quick, but I'm much faster
               (Take that!)
               Here goes, better throw my hand in
               Wish me happy landin'
               All I gotta do is jump
