The Lyrics
Justice is done.
(instrumental opening)
Hey Kenny Lay
you made it, now lie in your bed.
Hey Kenny Lay
you made it, now lie in your bed.
Green was the color you had in your mind.
In the federal pen you will be confined.
Hey Kenny Lay
you made it, now lie in your bed.
Stay Kenny stay
stay in the pen awhile.
The key is thrown away.
Never again will you smile.
Your mind was dirty, too, your hands not clean.
The biggest crook the world has ever seen.
Stay Kenny stay
stay in the pen awhile.
Why settle for honest profit to begin?
Couldn't have your cake and eat it, too.
Why settle for honest profit to begin?
It's off to Leavenworth for you.
Hey Kenny Lay
you made it, now lie in your bed.
Stay Kenny stay
a life sentence is ahead.
Never will you see the morning light.
Maybe Bush will pardon you some night.
Stay Kenny stay
a life sentence is ahead.
(instrumental close)

if the smirking chimp has even two working brain cells going for him right now, the worst thing he could do would be to try and pardon kenny boy. Let Ken Lay go down hard, same thing for Skilling. 5's for this.
5s for not rhyming "brass".
Clinton may have pardoned me, but Bush'll never pardon Lay!
