The presidential succession line
Got all convoluted in eighteen forty nine.
No one stepped up to run the USA,
So Dave Atchison was president for just one day.

On Saturday, Polk’s term was all through,
But, because for Taylor, Sunday work was taboo;
The inauguration got a delay,
And Dave Atchison was president for that one day.

This is fun!
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Hey, Dave, yuh gotta love this gig!
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
You got a list o’ appointments that’s pretty big
And when you’ve appointed all your friends,
You’d better hope that you can quickly make amends.
‘Cause the job is yours for just one day,
And, after Taylor’s installed, there will be hell to pay.

What would happen in two thousand nine
If Bush and Cheney would one day early resign
Don’t bother sending in your resumé
‘Cause Pelosi would be president for that one day.

Would we call her husband the First Dude?
Would Nancy be feminine or would she be crude?
What would foreign governments have to say
If Pelosi served as president for one whole day?

Here she comes!
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Hey, Nan! yuh better meet the press!
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
You’ll be the highest ranking wearer of a dress
Since Hoover’s days at the FBI.
But we have one request before you say good bye:
Whatever you think and do and say,
We’re asking that, please Nancy, don’t Rickroll* us away!
