One Jump Ahead歌词
作词 : Alan Menken/Tim Rice
作曲 : Alan Menken/Tim Rice
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 hit men
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 hoof beats
(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 landing
All I gotta do is jump!
