The Lyrics
Written in late 1998, right after the shocking announcement by House Speaker Newt Gingrich that he was quitting as Speaker of the House and retiring from Congress (in disgrace - Repubicans wanted his head for the disastrous 1998 elections that cost them seats in Congress)
(instrumental intro)
Gingrich quit! Gingrich quit!
We are in shock
Gingrich stepped down and gave up his crown
No longer Speaker and leading the pack
'Cause the G.O.P. fell off track
Gingrich quit! Gingrich quit!
We are in shock
Gingrich messed up and then he 'fessed up
No longer Speaker and subject of laughs
Due to costly gaffes
He was spiteful
It's delightful
To send the Newt away
It was hell time during his time
Now he's hiding to come back one day
Hurry up
Hurry, Newt, pack up your bags
As we all watch the clock
We'll dance and sing at the Newt's defeat
He's the man we can mock
(instrumental break - repeat verses)
Gingrich quit! Gingrich quit!
We are in shock
Gingrich stepped down and gave up his crown
No longer Speaker and leading the pack
'Cause the G.O.P. fell off track
Gingrich quit! Gingrich quit!
We are in shock
Gingrich messed up and then he 'fessed up
No longer Speaker and subject of laughs
Due to costly gaffes
He was spiteful
It's delightful
To send the Newt away
It was hell time during his time
Now he's hiding to come back one day
Hurry up
Hurry, Newt, pack up your bags
As we all watch the clock
We'll dance and sing at the Newt's defeat
He's the man we can mock
(instrumental break - repeat verses)
