The Lyrics
Pity the poor employees at Enron. Playboy apparently thinks that some of the female employees are so desparate, they might do a "Women of Enron" issue. Are they really that desparate now?
(Instrumental intro)
We saw Enron's collapse, it was the biggest one of all.
And we saw its stock collapse, and take a precipitous fall.
All the workers there were screwed, for they were left nothing at all.
The truth about Enron...
Enron, Enron really screwed ya.
Enron, Enron really screwed ya.
Enron, Enron really screwed ya.
The truth about Enron.
Then the Senate called for testimony from one Kenneth Lay.
Did he know just what was going on? Lay said, "Uh-uh! No way!"
But they all think Kenny lied, and they may put his butt away.
The truth about Enron...
Arthur Andersen's refusal
To stop shredding files as usual.
Bush officials take recusal.
The truth about Enron.
Now the public knows that Enron on the sly had cooked their books.
And they think they're worse than scum, and their executives are crooks.
These crooks thought they could get away, but now they're caught on hooks.
The truth about Enron...
Kenneth Lay will be the loser.
Bilked his workers, was a user.
Jail time for this abuser,
And crooks who ran Enron.
We saw Enron's collapse, it was the biggest one of all.
And we saw its stock collapse, and take a precipitous fall.
All the workers there were screwed, for they were left nothing at all.
The truth about Enron...
Enron, Enron really screwed ya.
Enron, Enron really screwed ya.
Enron, Enron really screwed ya.
The truth about Enron.
Then the Senate called for testimony from one Kenneth Lay.
Did he know just what was going on? Lay said, "Uh-uh! No way!"
But they all think Kenny lied, and they may put his butt away.
The truth about Enron...

And crooks who ran Enron.
