Brad Kane - One Jump Ahead [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! 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? Oh it's that 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!
