One Jump Ahead - From "Aladdin"Soundtrack Version

Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I cant afford
(Thats everything!)
One jump ahead of the lawmen
Thats all, and thats no joke
These guys dont appreciate Im broke
Riffraff!
Street rat!
Soundrel!
Take that!
Just a little snack, guys
Rip him open, take it back, guys
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
Youre my only friend, Abu!
Who?
Oh, its that Aladdins hit the bottom
Hes become a one-man rise in crime
Id blame parents except he hasnt got em
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 Ill take a stroll around the block
Stop, thief!
Vandal!
Outrage!
Scandal!
Lets not be too hasty
Still I think hes rather tasty
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise wed get along
Wrong!
♪
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats (vandal!)
One hop ahead of the hump (street rat! )
One trick ahead of disaster (scoundrel!)
Theyre quick, but Im much faster (take that!)
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin
All I gotta do is jump
