ADELSON
(Sung by Newt Gingrich supporters, to the tune of “Edelweiss,” from the Sound of Music)
Adelson, Adelson,
Your donations do cheer him.
We who root
For our Newt
Smile whenever you schmeer him.
Absent your vow
That you should endow
Newt’s campaign with plenty,
Adelson, Adelson,
He’d be dead as Pawlenty.
