Doing Time
(Sung to the tune "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?")

Once I headed Enron's fatted calf;
Hardly nickel-and-dime.
Did as I was told on your behalf.
Junior, why'm I doing time?

When my chief accountants cooked the books,
Cheney thought it sublime.
You know how it is; my schnooks are crooks.
Why should I be doing time?

California dreams, gone in a flash,
As soon as we inflated the price.
Your Alaskan rip-off didn't look rash
You were rolling our loaded dice.

Why can't you remember what we did?
We were partners in crime.
You said go ahead and overbid.
Junior, why'm I doing time?
