In the election of 1848 Zach Taylor replaced James Polk
But March 4th of 1849 was something of a joke
Polk’s presidency ended at midnight on Saturday
When Taylor learned he’d be sworn in he declared
No way!
Old Zach Taylor
Won’t work on a Sunday
And that’s how there came to be
A President for one day!
Polk’s Vice President had also gone and now there was no pres
David Atchison became chief exec and put on his best fez
Now Atchison was known to lead as Sеnate president
But as hеad of the United States I hardly made a dent!
Old Zach Taylor
Won’t work on a Sunday
And that’s how there came to be
A President for one day!
Atchison spent his presidency snoozing all day long
No one knew he was president, that’s why we wrote this song!
Old Zach Taylor
Won’t work on a Sunday
And that’s how there came to be
A President for one day!
