1. Through a partnership gigantic Enron grew and grew And they thought they had a scheme that the public wouldn't see through But the good Lord's mighty hand knew that firm would never stand It was sad when that partnership went down
chorus:
Oh, it was sad, oh, it was sad It was sad when the partnership went down (to the bottom of the...) Husbands and wives, little children changed their lives It was sad when that partnership went down
2. Oh, they bailed from Enron and were almost to the door When the rich refused to associate with the poor So they tied up all their dough where they'd be the first to go It was sad when that partnership went down
3. Oh, the firm was full of sin and the scheme about to burst When Ken Lay shouted, "Board of Directors first!" Some honest ones retired and the rest of them were fired It was sad when that partnership went down
4. Oh, they hauled the shredders out at the accounting agency When Cheney shouted "Nearer, My God, To Me" Little children wept and cried as the rats jumped o'er the side It was sad when that partnership went down
