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!
 Soundrel!
 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 that 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
