One Jump Ahead Reprise lyrics

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! Scoundrel! 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 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

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

Reprise
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
