The Lyrics

As sung by Dubya about CEO Ken Lay, with his finger in the EnronGate dam
(instrumental intro)

Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay, or you'll make me cry.
Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay, or tell Congress why
You paid me to receive a big piece of the pie.
Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay... tell a lie!

Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay, or you'll make me cry.
Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay, or tell Congress why
You paid me to receive a big piece of the pie.
Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay... tell a lie!

Well, the media is loving all this scandal shoving.
And it bugs and pisses me off, 'cause it's true.
Well, this scandal drives me crazy, still the details are hazy.
Do not say, or I'll be through.

Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay, or you'll make me cry.
Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay, or tell Congress why
You paid me to receive a big piece of the pie.
Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay... tell a lie!

(instrumental break)

It was stupid on your part, not to deny your part.
If asked about your part, will they believe you?
You should have told me how you acted coldly.
Hush, Ken Lay, I don't know you.

Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay, or you'll make me cry.
Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay, or tell Congress why
You paid me to receive a big piece of the pie.
Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay... tell a lie!

(instrumental break)

Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay (boo hoo)
Tattle, Kenneth Lay (boo hoo)
Tattle, Kenneth Lay (boo hoo)
Don't tattle, Kenneth Lay, or I'll cry.

(instrumental ending)
