47 One Leap Before
“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!
