Why do you try to cheat?
And trample people under your feet
Don't you know it is wrong?
To cheat the trying man
To cheat the trying man
So you better stop, it is the wrong 'em boyo
You lie, steal, cheat and deceit
In such a small, small game
Don't you know it is wrong ...
SOLO
Billy Boy has been shot
And Stagger Lee's come out on top
Don't you know it is wrong ...
So you must start all over again-all over again
You got to play it, Billy, play, you got to play it, Billy, play
And you will find it is the right 'em boyo
But if you must lie and deceit
And trample people under your feet
Don't you know it is wrong ...
(C. Alphanso)
