Aladdin movie - One Jump Ahead lyrics

rate me

Song by Brad Kane<br /><br>

[Aladdin:] Gotta keep<br>

One jump ahead of the breadline<br>

One swing ahead of the sword<br>

I steal only what I can't afford<br>

( That's Everything! )<br>

<br>

One jump ahead of the lawmen<br>

That's all, and that's no joke<br>

These guys don't appreciate I'm broke<br>

<br>

[Crowd:] Riffraff! Street rat! Soundrel! Take that!<br>

<br>

[Aladdin:] Just a little snack, guys<br>

[Crowd:] Rip him open, take it back, guys<br>

[Aladdin:] I can take a hint, gotta face the facts<br>

You're my only friend, Abu!<br>

[Crowd:] Who?<br>

Oh it's that Aladdin's hit the bottom.<br>

He's become a one-man rise in crime<br>

I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em<br>

[Aladdin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat<br>

Tell you all about it when I got the time!<br>

<br>

One jump ahead of the slowpokes<br>

One skip ahead of my doom <br>

Next time gonna use a nom de plume<br>

One jump ahead of the hitmen<br>

One hit ahead of the flock<br>

I think I'll take a stroll around the block<br>

<br>

[Crowd:] Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!<br>

<br>

[Aladdin:] Let's not be too hasty<br>

[Lady:] Still I think he's rather tasty<br>

[Aladdin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat<br>

Otherwise we'd get along<br>

[Crowd:] Wrong!<br>

<br>

[Aladdin:] One jump ahead of the hoofbeats<br>

(Vandal!)<br>

One hop ahead of the hump<br>

(Street rat!)<br>

One trick ahead of disaster<br>

(Scoundrel!)<br>

They're quick, but I'm much faster<br>

(Take that!)<br>

Here goes, better throw my hand in<br>

Wish me happy landin'<br>

All I gotta do is jump<br>

<br>
