Joe Bob Sings Enron

By Joe Bob Briggs
January 24, 2002


I shredded on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
Deleted email Tuesday for the auditor Bill
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
Yes! My heart stood still!
Yes! His name was Bill!
And when he tapped my phone . .
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron

The SEC investigator gave me the eye
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
He looked like he was fishing, but my oh my
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
Yes! He caught my eye!
Yes! But my oh my!
And when he found my loan . . .
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron

They're callin' me a masochist for savin' my mail
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
But 401K dividends won't pay for my bail
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
Yes! I'm savin' the mail!
No! I'm not makin' bail!
And when the cows come home . . .
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron

Congressional committes wanna sweat Kenny Lay
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
The dough is in the Caymans and the rest on Ebay
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
Yes! They want Kenny Lay!
Yes! The crap's on ebay!
But soon they'll make him moan . . .
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron

I fingered Arthur Andersen for cookin' the books
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
I thought that they'd be satisfied with two or three crooks
Da Doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
Yes! They're cookin' the books!
No! It's not enough crooks!
They want more flesh and bone . . .
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron

I know we paid off every politician in sight
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
So where's the juice, we need it now, this wafflin' ain't right
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
Yes! The pols got paid!
No! They went away!
And soon they'll start to drone . . .
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron

The Presidential Rolodex had Kenny boy's name
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
But now the C-in-C is saying "It's all the same"
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
Yes! He was our tool!
No! The market rules?
He won't answer his phone . . .
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron

I didn't wanna do it but I will if I must
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
The girlies in the boardroom had remarkable busts
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
Yes! We'll make them see!
How! Say "Le Win Ski"!
And oh how they could moan . . .
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron

The veepee with the memos is a festering boil
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
She knows too much and says too much, a most nasty goil
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron
No! We can't shoot her!
Spesh! Ul Prosecutor!
Ken Starr's bored at home . . .
Da doo ron Enron, da doo Enron.
