Try this one. It's to the tune of The Titanic.

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

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

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

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
