We Pick Rick

Calvin Trillin

February 15, 2012

(A Santorum campaign song, sung to the tune of “I Like Ike,” by Irving Berlin)   We pick Rick. Yes, Rick’s with whom we will 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.
