I'm trying to write down the lyrics to the song that starts at 3:38. But some things, I just can't make out. Here's what I've got so far, and where it says "dundun" I can't make out the words. Can you help me?
In the election of 1848 Zach Taylor dundun James Polk
But dundun 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 prez
David Atchison became chif exec and put on his best fez
Now, Atchison was known to dundun senate president
?But as head of the United States I hardly made a dent!?
Old Zach Taylor won?t work on a Sunday
And that?s how Atchison became president for one day!
Atchison spent his president?s day 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 Atchison became president for one day!

Thanks! And yes, they used to. Gods, the happy childhood memories I've got...

I couldn't really make out that third one, but I got the same as AnOrginalConcept for the first two. Those are pretty obvious anyway as Zach Taylor replaced James Polk on the 4th of March.
