Son of a preacher man

anonymous

original: Son Of A Preacher Man (John Hurley / Ronnie Wilkins)

Kenny-Boy was a preacher's son
And when he started up Enron I came along
When they gathered round and started talkin'
That's when Kenny would take me walkin'
A-through the office we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look straight in my eyes
And tell me another lie

The only one who could ever trick me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
And Kenny-Boy, he’s the one who tricked me,
He’s the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I tried
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
I’d get a bonus and everything was all right
Can you stay late again tonight?

The only one who could ever trick me
Was the son of a preacher man,
And Kenny-Boy, he’s the one who tricked me,
He’s the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, Lord knows he was

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Hiding debt in the Cayman Isles
Takin' time to cash out
Tellin' me I me I should wait it out,
Learnin' from the young Jeff Skilling,
How to make another killing,

The only one who could ever trick me
Was the son of a preacher man,
And Kenny-Boy, he’s the one who tricked me,
He’s the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was

He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
He was the sweet-talking' son of a preacher man
