"Enron-Time Tonight!"
Lyrics by Lauren Weinstein
January, 2002

To the tune of "Comedy Tonight"
From "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"

With apologies to Stephen Sondheim

Something financial,
Something substantial,
Big bucks come rolling in...
It's Enron-time tonight!

Buy politicians,
Like packaged chickens,
Looks like we own D.C.,
It's Enron-time tonight!

Blackouts galore!
Prices sky-high!
Our man's in the White House,
We'll never slide...

Just bide our time now,
Ride the stock up now,
There's nothing not within our sights!
Energy tomorrow,
Enron-time tonight!


Something's now scary,
Something's not cherry...
Something has gone awry,
It's Enron-time tonight!

Stock price is falling,
Prospects appalling,
Better bail out right now,
It's Enron-time tonight!

Shredders on high!
Time's right to sell!
Let the stockholders,
All rot in hell!

What is the moral?
Must be a moral...
Looks like we screwed them left and right!
Honesty tomorrow,
Enron-time, Enron-time, Enron-time, Enron-time, Enron-time...
TO-NIGHT!
