One Jump Ahead (From the Musical "Aladdin") [Instrumental Version] [Original Broadway cast of 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
Riffraff
Street rat
Scoundrel
Take that!
Just a little snack, guys
Rip him open, take it back, guys
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
I could use a friend or two
True.
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
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
Stop, thief
Vandal
Outrage
Scandal
Let's not be too hasty
Still I think he's rather tasty
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
Wrong
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
(Vandal)
One hop ahead of the hump
(Street rat)
One trick ahead of disaster
(Scoundrel)
They're quick, but I'm much faster
(Take that)
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin' all I gotta do is jump
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
Riffraff
Street rat
Scoundrel
Take that!
Just a little snack, guys
Rip him open, take it back, guys
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
I could use a friend or two
True.
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
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
Stop, thief
