I can still remember, how that stock price used to make me smile, and I knew if I had my chance, I shouldn't have listened to those analysts rants, and maybe I'd be happy for a while..... but February made me shiver, with every option they delivered, bad news in the Boardroom, I couldn't believe the pending doom, I can't remember if I cried when I read about Skilling step aside but something nauseated me from deep inside, the day, that Enron shareholders, cried. So... CHORUS Why, why did they throw a pie in his eye? Mortgaged the company to the sky then the bond market went dry and them good ol' boys were high on their own supply wailing, "Why Ask Why", This will be the day that they drink Bud Dry. Did you write off your shares enough or did you have faith in Jeff above, if the headlines told you so, and do you believe in book-it-n'-roll, can mark to market save your p&l and can you teach me how to print money on deal flow? Well I know that you're in not in ruin I saw your balance in the credit union, you sold off all your shares and I dig those market bears. He was a lonely boomer CEO with a big old House in River O. but I knew I was out some dough, the day, Jeff stepped aside. I started singin... Chorus Now for ten years we've been on a roll and all are friends are on the dole but that's not how it used to be, when the Ken Lay sang for the George and Barb while Rice screwed Amanda in an rental from Harold Farb, oh and while Skilling was looking down, the stock price has made him frown the shareholder return, has really made him burn, and while he had plenty of jack, he had lost the knack and had come under attack, , the day, Jeff stepped aside. We were singin... Chorus Helter Skelter in a summer swelter the electricity market was a limit melter, eight hundred bucks and climbing fast, California credit limit had quickly past, the governor tried to get some bills past, Enron's receivables have quickly amass, now everyone ran to in Washington, the lawsuits have just begun, just before the price would fall, Gov. Gray bought it all, as the dust is settling, will prove that government mettling will certainly be, a huge catastrophe, the day, Jeff stepped, aside. We started singin... Chorus Oh and there we were all in one place, a company that needed its space with no floors left to grow, so come on, Jeff be nimble, Jeff be quick, Jeff S. built a new deodorant stick because hubris the devils only friend, oh and as I watched that tower build, but I doubt it will ever be filled, no more recruiting trip; as HR doles out more pink slips; and as the building climbed high into the sky to quite the contractor delight I saw shareholders shuttering with fright, the day, Jeff stepped aside. He was singin... Chorus The burning question that I don't know is who can replace him as CEO cause the company won't be the same, he transformed the industry his success is plain to see but from natural gas to electricity, Dynegy tried, and Duke has dreamed but I hate to tease, they are just Enron wanna-be's, and in hindsight its easy to mock his leaving the firm in a shock, I'm just I had sold my stock, the day, Jeff stepped aside, and they were singin... Why, why did they throw a pie in his eye? Mortgaged the company to the sky then the bond market went dry and them good ol' boys were high on their own supply wailing, "Why Ask Why", This will be the day that they drink Bud Dry.
