Prison Time
(Sung to the tune of "Clementine")

(instrumental intro)
 
Now in tatters, Enron ruined.
Fraud committed all that time.
Such disasters by their masters,
Lay and Skilling did the crime.

Lay and Skilling, Lay and Skilling
Should be serving prison time.
Prosecute them?  Maybe never.
They may do no prison time.

They stole all that they could carry.
Wrangled profits that were prime.
Crooked foxes who left poxes
For investors - they are slime.

Lay and Skilling, Lay and Skilling
Should be serving prison time.
Prosecute them?  Maybe never.
They may do no prison time.

(brief instrumental break)

Their employees: left for slaughter.
Sold their stock in record time.
Cooked their books, Enron went under.
Workers weren't left a dime.

Lay and Skilling, Lay and Skilling
Should be serving prison time.
Prosecute them?  Maybe never.
They may do no prison time.

Workers pink-slipped, treading water,
While execs made out sublime.
Under Bush, crooks are the winners.
There's no check on corporate crime.

Lay and Skilling, Lay and Skilling
Should be serving prison time.
Prosecute them?  Maybe never.
They may do no prison time.

(brief instrumental break)

Scandals causing Bush's poll slide.
He is running out of time.
Folks, remember in November:
When you vote, reject this slime.

Lay and Skilling, Lay and Skilling
Should be serving prison time.
Prosecute them?  Maybe never.
They may do no prison time.

(instrumental ending)
