One Jump Ahead Lyrics - Singles - Aladdin

Gotta keep, 

One jump ahead of the bread line 

one swing ahead of the sword 

I steal only what i can't afford 

and 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 hit men 

One hit ahead of the flock 

I think I'll take a stroll around the block 

[Crowd:] Stop, thief! Vandal! 

[Aladdin:] Abu! 

[Crowd:] 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 hoof beats 

(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!
