about

Written about US Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, a truly odd politician who'se been haunting the corridors of power for years..

lyrics

Crazy like a Newt

He’s an angry old white man with a jiggling belly
He loves to debate his rivals on the telly
Raising his middle finger is his favorite salute
Crazy? Yeah, crazy like a Newt

He’s a multitasker just ask his spouse
As soon as one is in the hospital and out of the house
He’s romancing the next wife, in his birthday suit
Crazy, yeah, crazy like a Newt

He’s an expert at being sanctimonious
Ask any important question, he’ll attack the press
Ethics, schmethicks, he don’t give a hoot
Crazy? Yeah crazy like a Newt

He’s a stupid man’s idea of an intellectual
When it comes to lobbying he’s old school
Freddie and Fannie are the devil, until they pay him some loot
Crazy, yeah crazy like a Newt

He claims to be a historian but that’s a laugh
his economic plan makes sense if you don’t use math
But he’s so good at spinning his webs, to debate him you have to be astute
Crazy, yeah crazy like a Newt

Is he a newt, or a skunk or a cobra snake?
Sooner or later he’ll make a mistake
And his true colors will show, like bile or some other bitter fruit
Crazy, yeah, crazy like a Newt

He may not be the candidate anytime soon
but it doesn’t matter, he’s going to the Moon
His ego is the size of that rocket that he wants to shoot
Crazy, yeah crazy like a Newt
