Lie Kenny Lay

To the tune of Lay Lady Lay -- Bob Dylan
© 2005 Dennis Mansker


Lie, Kenny Lay, lie until it can be said,
Lie, Kenny Lay, lie until Enron is dead.
Whatever perjury is in your mind,
Don't worry 'bout it, and it will be fine.

Lie, Kenny Lay, lie until your face is red.
Stay Kenny Lay, stay with George Bush a while,
He calls you Kenny Boy, and you can make him smile.
His soul is dirty and his hands unclean,
You're the best liar that he's ever seen.

Stay, Kenny Lay, stay with your man a while.
Why wait any longer for the trial to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it too.
Why wait any longer for the perjury?
A prison term in front of you.

Lie, Kenny Lay, lie until you are dead.
Stay Kenny Lay, the investigation's dead ahead.
We long to see you in those prison blues,
We want to see you get the screws,
Lie, Kenny Lay, lie -- Bush is fucking with your head.
