Lyrics
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

Guards: 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!

Bimbettes: Who? Oh it's sad Aladdin's hit the bottom. He's become a one-man rise in crime

Woman: 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<br/ /> Next time gonna use a nom de plume

One jump ahead of the hitmen<br/ /> One hit ahead of the flock<br/ /> I think I'll take a stroll around the block

Crowd: Stop, thief!<br/ /> Vandal!<br/ /> Outrage!<br/ /> Scandal!

Aladdin: Let's not be too hasty

Lady: Still I think he's rather tasty

Aladdin: Gotta eat to live,<br/ /> gotta steal to eat<br/ /> 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,<br/ /> better throw my hand in<br/ /> Wish me happy landin'<br/ /> All I gotta do is jump!
