Appearances | |

Cheatsy's Life is a self-praising song that Cheatsy Koopa and his Gopher minions sing in the episode "Gopher Bash." The song is about how evil and fun Cheatsy's Life can be.
Role in episode
After Cheatsy Koopa and his Gopher minions return to their lair with the stolen crops they took from the Cave People, Cheatsy begins singing Cheatsy's Life alongside his Gopher minions who are singing backup. However, starting with the second verse, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi begin kidnapping the Gophers one by one and tying them up to suspend them above Cheatsy, unknown to him and the remaining Gophers. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi then sing backup in the third verse instead of the Gophers, after they successfully kidnapped all the Gophers. However, Cheatsy does not notice Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi until he finishes his song, where Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi then drop the suspended Gophers onto Cheatsy and take the crops back.
Lyrics
Cheatsy Koopa: Oh, when Koopa sees a chance for some real mischief,
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
Gophers: Oh, when there's underhanded evil to be done (To be done)
Then Cheatsy’s life becomes a lot of fun (Lots of fun)
Cheatsy Koopa: 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 the plan, I know how to do it
Cheatsy's got the schemes that can't be beat
Gophers: Oh, when there's underhanded evil to be done (To be done)
Then Cheatsy’s life becomes a happy one (Happy one)
Cheatsy Koopa: 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
Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi: If there’s something really rotten to be done (To be done)
Then Cheatsy’s life becomes a worthwhile one (Worthwhile one)
That's Cheatsy's life!
Trivia
- Cheatsy's Life and the Kootie Pie Rap are the only two songs from the Super Mario World television series to be sung by the characters in-universe, rather than the song being sung by disembodied voices in the background of a scene.
- Cheatsy's Life and the Kootie Pie Rap are also the only two songs from the Super Mario World television series to not get instrumental versions in the Italian dub.
