Notes

JP: A big thank you to my creative co-pilot for helping steer me with some direction with this song request for JusticeForNoOne, FloraAlice and Yankeegirl13 – I’m so used to writing the virtuous AA cast that this playful tune about a sticky-fingered street-rat had me initially drawing a blank about parodies – until he suggested a certain diminutive but big-mouthed red-haired Pink Panther from T & T! I hope you guys like this parody – which now coincides with the current Season 2 AA anime storyline featuring a certain Cinnabon-haired thief’s run from the law before he unmasked himself – The Stolen Turnabout! 🙂

CT: Here’s the long-awaited “One Step Ahead” parody! I hope you like this song JP did involving everyone’s favorite Princess Leia-lookalike thief as much as I do! Though while we’re on the topic, it really boggles the mind of just how reckless Desiree’s spending was if Ron had no choice but to steal priceless jewels and pieces of art to support her. With such a complete disregard for money, it’s amazing that they were able to pay their rent.

“One Leap Before”
Sung to the tune of “One Jump Ahead”
from Disney’s Aladdin

[Ron:]
Gotta be
One leap before the creditors
One day ahead of due date
I steal stuff the wife would approbate
And that’s everything!

One leap before all the flatfoots
My life of crime’s no joke
Dessie, can’t discover that I’m broke!

[The Fuzz:]
Burglar!
Bandit!
Rascal!
Take that!

[Ron:]
Just a few gemstones boys

[The Fuzz:]
Cuff him now and lock him up boys!

[Ron:]
Gotta face the truth. Need to pay my bills.
Doing it all for love, it’s true!

[The Fuzz:]
For Who?

[Gumshoe:]
It’s Mask DeMasque who’s struck now once again
He’s become a one-man rise in crime

[Godot]:
I’d claim lack of scruples but he’s got none

[Ron:]
Thief against my will
Gotta steal for wife
If they catch me I’ll be doing time!

One leap ahead of the Popo
One step ahead cuz they’re slow
Next time I’ll pick an alias less known!

One leap before all the lawmen
Hair’s breadth ahead of the cops
I’ll catch my breath once around this block!

[The Fuzz:]
Stop crook!
Pilferer!

[Ron:]
Sorrrrrrrry!

[The Fuzz:]
Chiseler!

[Ron:]
All so quick to judge me

[“Ace Detective”]
Don’t forget about Luke Atmey

[Ron:]
Gotta face the truth, gotta pay my bills
Doing it all for love, it’s true!

[The Fuzz:]
Screw you!

[Ron:]
One leap before all the sirens

[The Fuzz:]
Criminal!

[Ron:]
One skip ahead of the chumps

[The Fuzz:]
Looter!

[Ron:]
If caught it’ll be a disaster

[The Fuzz:]
Pirate!

[Ron:]
They’re fast, thank God I’m faster

[The Fuzz:]
Robber!

[Ron:]
Geronimo!
Gotta take this chancy!
Final flight of fancy!
All I gotta do is… JUMP!
