One
Jump Ahead
ALADDIN:
Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the bridling
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!
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 its
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've 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!
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 hoof beats
(Vandal!)
One hop ahead of the hump
(Scoundrel!)
They're quick, but I'm much
faster
(Take that!)
Here goes, better throw by
hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump
Reprise:
ALADDIN:
Riffraff, street rat.
I don't buy that.
If only they'd look closer
Would they see a poor boy? No sire.
They'd find out, there's so much more to me
