Better be civil, you better not pout
And if you're abnormal you better watch out
'Cause Newt Gingrich is running the town
He's got a contract - he's no demagogue
He's drivin' a Caddy—all Bill does is jog
Newt Gingrich is running the town

He knows when you're on welfare
His vision's crystal clear
If you're part of the counter culture
Man you're outta here

Democrats lose - Republicans win
Let's say a prayer - hope 'bout a hymn?
Newt Gingrich is running the town
Teddy stays put and Ollie got beat
Jessie and Strom are still glued to their seats
And Newt Gingrich is running the town

Newt knows when you're mooching
So don't act so surprised
If you got a social problem
You're just uncivilized

Yeah, well the American people, they've had their say
But what I wanna know is which people are they?
Newt Gingrich is running the town
He won't compromise or cooperate
But you better be Christian, married, and straight
'Cause Newt Gingrich is running -
Clinton had it coming -
Newt Gingrich is running the town
