03. One Jump Ahead | Aladdin (1992 Soundtrack)

PERFORMED BY: Brad Kane as ALADDIN 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 HAREM GIRLS: Who? Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit the bottom He's become a one-man rise in crime HAREM MANAGER: 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 GUARD: Stop, thief! MERCHANT: Vandal! ALADDIN: Abu! WOMAN: 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 GUARDS: 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: Riffraff! ALADDIN: Here goes Better throw my hand in Wish me happy landing All I gotta do is jump!
