(::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
(--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
