Here is another versions of the Enron-Ron parody, more political and, I believe, written independently.

The composer is Julie McCall of the Labor Heritage Foundation, AFL-CIO, who has written many fine parodies:

Who's the corporation that went belly up? It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron Employees and investors are all out of luck It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron Yeah, those millionaires All cashed in their shares A real bankrupt affair It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron

Who gave lots of money to the Bush campaign? It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron But then their credit rating headed down the drain It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron Cheney and his crew Yeah, John Ashcroft too Now they're acting like they had no clue It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron

Who's been trading energy around the globe? It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron And now they are the target of a federal probe It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron Making policies With the GOP While they plundered the economy It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron

Who had their accountants try to hide the debt? It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron With the worker's futures they were playing roulette It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron Now their bonds are junk Pension fund's defunct That's how low they've sunk It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron

What's the biggest scandal of the century? It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron A major threat to our homeland security It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron Yeah we're in the grip Of corporate terrorists United we won't stand for this! It's Enron-ron-ron, it's Enron-ron
