The Lyrics
Liza Minelli's production company fell on bad times, but her accountant told her about a way to save it. She announced the restructuring at a shareholders meeting, and she did it in song.
Somehow, says my accountant
We'll get by
There are profits to be had
If we will only lie.
Somehow, says my accountant
Red ink's good
If the column you put it under
Is misconstrued.
Someday they'll pour into my lap
Those profits because GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles)
Mean nothing to me.
'Cause Arthur Andersen has said
You'll get rich, but be sure you shred
Your stuff completely.
Somehow, says my accountant,
We'll get by.
Enron took all those profits,
Why then, oh why can't I?
If Worldcom and MCI
Can take those profits
Why can't I?
We'll get by
There are profits to be had
If we will only lie.
Somehow, says my accountant
Red ink's good
If the column you put it under
Is misconstrued.
Someday they'll pour into my lap
Those profits because GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles)
Mean nothing to me.
'Cause Arthur Andersen has said
You'll get rich, but be sure you shred
Your stuff completely.
Somehow, says my accountant,
We'll get by.
Enron took all those profits,
Why then, oh why can't I?
If Worldcom and MCI
Can take those profits
Why can't I?

When did this one come out? It's very good... must have missed it first time round :-)
Very clever parody by itself - plus the irony of using Judy Garland's song to parody her daughter.
