(A Santoram campaign song, sung to the tune of “I like Ike,” by Irving Berlin)
‘We pick Rick.
Yes, Rick’s with whom we’ll stick.
He’s the guy
All over whom we’re swarming.
We pick Rick.
Though some imply that he’s thick,
He well knows
There is no global warming.
He’ll say on CNN
The sins that we must smother,
And he can keep those men
From marrying each other
We pick Rick
‘Cause he’ll tell liberals real quick
What God says
No matter if they’re willing:
Abortion’s baby-killing,
So we pick Rick.
