In enterprise of business kind when there is dodgy dealing
Our endeavour never finds a trace of boardlevel stealing
But when the Feds investigate, the evidence is mounting
We're unappealing, wheelerdealing, dealsealing auditors
Andersen Accounting
We know that we know best, no no
Conflicts of interest, oh, no
We're wheelerdealing, unappealing, dealsealing auditors
Andersen Accounting

When to evade conviction's hand, the cover up proceeded
No auditor has ever shredded half as much as we did
We diced documentation, and who knows how much, who's counting?
We're papershredding watertreading downwardheading criminals
Andersen Accounting
Our reputation's dead, boo hoo
With all that we did shred, boo hoo
We're papershredding watertreading downwardheading criminals
Andersen Accounting

When told that they would all be fired with all that is emerging
Our "independent" consultants start frantic'ly demerging
They split from our accounting arm with haste frankly insulting
Versacesuited undisputed rootedtooted businessmen
Andersen Consulting
(But please don't ever tell, oh no
They are crap as well, oh no)
Versacesuited undisputed rootedtooted businessmen
Andersen Consulting

In the first and foremost flight, ha, ha!
You always found that knight, ha, ha!
That celebrated,
Cultivated,
Underrated
Nobleman,
The Duke of PlazaToro!

In every doughty deed, ha, ha!
He always took the lead, ha, ha!
That unaffected,
Undetected,
Wellconnected
Warrior,
The Duke of PlazaToro!

To men of grosser clay, ha, ha!
He always showed the way, ha, ha!
That very knowing,
Overflowing,
Easygoing
Paladin,
The Duke of PlazaToro!
That very knowing,
Overflowing,
Easygoing
Paladin,
The Duke of PlazaToro!
