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.
