Aladdin movie - One Jump Ahead lyrics
rate meSong 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>
<br>
