Crowd: Who? Ladies: 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 Aladdin: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Tell you all about it when I got the time!

Aladdin: 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
