Afraid of every sound
You can't believe it
This house is filled with fear
Creepy shadows
Follow you somehow
Look, there's a monster

Don't walk into the darkness or some evil thing might grab us
There's a wizard, here tonight
Let's hope we only get out of haunted house of fright

Oh, but there’s the blackest of evil to be done
He smiles and then says, "Cheatsy, just go do it"
And Cheatsy’s life becomes a lot of fun
Fun
Oh, when there's underhanded evil to be done
To be done
Then Cheatsy’s life becomes a lot of fun
Lotsa' fun
If you want to cheat a family of their mortgage
If you want to put some grandma on the street (Put her down)
Then I’m the one that has a plan, I know how to do it
Cheatsy's got the scheme's that can’t be beat
Oh, when there’s underhanded evil to be done
To be done
Then Cheatsy’s life becomes a happy one
Happy one
If the idea is to take someone’s life savings
If you want to steal a little boy’s last dime
Then I’m the one that you should all be calling
I'll do the job no matter what the crime
If there’s something really rotten to be done
To be done
Then Cheatsy’s life becomes a worthwhile one
Worthwhile one!
THAT’S CHEAT-SY’S LIFE!

First you're here, and then you're not
You never seem to stay in one spot
I'm looking, looking
Looking for you
I try to keep up as best I can
I wanna be there if you need a hand
I'm looking, looking
Looking for you
I'm just one step behind
Oh, why are you so hard to find?

You know that everywhere I go

Looking for you
Looking, looking
Looking for you
Looking, looking
Looking for you
