2019 American musical film
Aladdin - One Jump Ahead Lyrics

Lyrics by Tim Rice. Performed by Mena Massoud.

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

GUARDS:
Riffraff!
Street rat!
Scoundrel!

ALADDIN:
Take that!
Try a different tact, guys

GUARDS:
Rip him open
'Round the back, guys

ALADDIN:
I can take a hint
Gotta face the facts
Could really use a friend or two

SCHOOL GIRLS:
Huh?
Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit the bottom
He's become a one-man rise in crime

TEACHER:
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

GUARD:
Stop, thief!

MERCHANT:
Vandal!

ALADDIN:
Abu!

MERCHANT:
Scandal!

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 hoofbeats
One hop ahead of the hump
One trick ahead of disaster
They're quick, but I'm much faster
Here goes
Better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landing
All I gotta do is jump!
