One Jump Ahead

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

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

You're my only friend, Abu (Who?)

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 hit men

One hit ahead of the flock

I think I'll take a stroll around the block

Stop, thief, vandal, outrage, scoundrel

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 landing

All I gotta do is jump
