Brad Kane - One Jump Ahead (Reprise) - Soundtrack lyrics

Aladdin Gotta keep One jump ahead of the breadline One swing ahead of the sword I steal only what I can't afford And 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! Scoundrel! Take that!

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!)
