One Jump Ahead
Words by Tim Rice
Music by Alan Menken
Performed by Brad Kane

ALADDIN:
Gotta keep...one jump ahead of the breadline
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!

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
You're my only friend, Abu!

WOMEN:
Who?!?
Oh, it's sad Aladdin's hit the bottom
He's become a one-man rise in crime

WOMAN:
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.

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!

GUARDS:
WRONG!

ALADDIN:
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats!

CROWD:
Vandal!

ALADDIN:
One hop ahead of the hump!

CROWD:
Street rat!

ALADDIN:
One trick ahead of disaster

CROWD:
Scoundrel!
ALADDIN:
They're quick--but I'm much faster

CROWD:
Take that!

ALADDIN:
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump!
