Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke
Just a little snack, guys
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Abu!
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
Let's not be too hasty
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
Wrong!
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 landin'
All I gotta do is jump
