If you are using a version of the AWS CLI that doesn't support copying to "-" you can also use /dev/stdout:

$ aws s3 cp --quiet s3://mybucket/stream.txt /dev/stdout

You also may want the --quiet flag to prevent a summary line like the following from being appended to your output:

download: s3://mybucket/stream.txt to ../../dev/stdout
