Aladdin-One Jump Ahead

One Jump Ahead as seen in Disney's 1992 hit, Aladdin. Written by Alan Menken & Tim Rice Performed by Brad Kane & Company 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 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 Lyrics were provided by SonyLyrics.com
