[Verse]
Johnny's a bald lad
Drives a Hackney cab
Cheated the benefit lads
Said his job was nae bad

[Verse 2]
Decided tae quit work
Livin' on the state's perk
Claimed he couldnae stand
Never thought he'd get canned

[Chorus]
HAVE YE BEEN CHEATIN' THE SICK
CHEATIN' THE SICK
Inspector's mad with a tick
Caught Johnny on the sly
Nae more excuses or lies

[Verse 3]
At Craig Tara park
Johnny's real wee lark
Goin' down the slide
Seen by the job centre spy

[Verse 4]
Inspector wis ragin'
Johnny's heart was poundin'
Caught in the act
Oh man
Sure tae lose his plan

[Chorus]
HAVE YE BEEN CHEATIN' THE SICK
CHEATIN' THE SICK
Inspector's mad with a tick
Caught Johnny on the sly
Nae more excuses or lies
