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

Crowd:

Riffraff! Street rat!

Scoundral! 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, Abu

Crowd:

Who?

Ladies:

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

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
