Guards: Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!
Aladdin: Just a little snack, guys Guards: Rip him open! Take it back, guys!

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!?

Lady: Still I think he's rather tasty
Aladdin: Gotta eat to live, Gotta steal to eat Otherwise we'd get along

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