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 lawman
That's all and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

Guards:
Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!

Aladdin:
Just a little snack guys

Guards:
Rip him open, take it back, guys

Aladdin:
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Abu

Women:
Who?
Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's____ the bottom
He's become a one man rise in crime

Woman:
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 gotta use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitman
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block

People:
Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scoundrel!

Aladdin:
Let's not be too hasty

Woman:
Still I think he's rather tasty

Aladdin:
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along

Guards:
Wrong!

Aladdin:
One jump ahead of the hoof beats

Guards:
Vandal!

Aladdin:
One hop ahead of the hump

Guards:
Street rat!

Aladdin:
One trick ahead of disaster

Guards:
Scoundrel!

Aladdin:
They're quick but I'm much faster

Guards:
Take that!

Aladdin:
Here it goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landing, all I gotta do is jump
