Aladdin: 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

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!

Harem Girls: Who?
Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit 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 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

Crowd: Stop, thief!
Vandal!
Aladdin: Abu!?

Crowd: 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
(Crowd: Riffraff!)

Aladdin: One hop ahead of the hump
(Crowd: Street rat!)

Aladdin: One trick ahead of disaster
(Crowd: Scoundrel!)

Aladdin: They're quick, but I'm much faster
(Crowd: Take that!)

Aladdin: Here goes:
Better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump!
