one jump ahead - alan menken lyrics

Loading...

gotta keep
one jump ahead of the bread line
one swing ahead of the sword
i steal only what i can’t afford
thats everything

one jump ahead of the lawmen
that’s all, and that’s no joke
these guys don’t appreciate i’m broke

[crowd:] riffraff! street rat! scoundrel! take that!

[aladdin:] just a little snack, guys
[crowd:] rip him open, take it back, guys
[aladdin:] i can take a hint, gotta face the facts
you’re my only friend, abu!
[crowd:] who?

[ladies:] oh it’s sad aladdin’s h-t the bottom
he’s become a one-man rise in crime
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
[crowd:] wrong!

[aladdin:] 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 (reprise)
music: alan menken
lyrics: tim rice

[aladdin:] riffraff, street rat
i don’t buy that
if only they’d look closer
would they see a poor boy? no, siree
they’d find out
there’s so much more to me
