[Aladdin]
Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
And 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
[Guards]
Riffraff
Street rat
Scoundrel
Take that!
[Aladdin]
Just a little snack, guys
[Guards]
Rip him open, take it back, guys
[Aladdin]
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
I could use a friend or two
[All]
True
[Ladies]
Oh, it's 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 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
[Traders]
Stop, thief
Vandal
Outrage
Scandal
[Aladdin]
Let's not be too hasty
[Woman]
Still I think he's rather tasty
[Aladdin]
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
[All]
Wrong
[Aladdin]
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
[Guards]
Vandal
[Aladdin]
One hop ahead of the hump
[Guards]
Street rat
[Aladdin]
One trick ahead of disaster
[Guards]
Scoundrel
[Aladdin]
They're quick, but I'm much faster
[Guards]
Take that
[Aladdin]
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin' all I gotta do is jump
[Guards]
Don't let him get away
[Aladdin]
Sometimes it's just way too easy
