There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Adam Sandler<\/a><\/strong> took to the SNL<\/em> stage he and Chris Farley <\/strong>once shared and paid tribute to his late co-star with a touching song.<\/p>\n

Farley, one of the most popular Saturday Night Live<\/em> performers of all time, died of a drug overdose at age 33 in 1997. He and Sandler were co-stars in the early and mid-90s. On Saturday, Sandler returned to the NBC sketch comedy series for the first time in two decades, this time as a first-time host, and performed a tribute song to Farley that he had debuted on his Netflix comedy special 100% Fresh<\/em>, which was released in October.<\/p>\n

“After a show he’d drink a quart of Jack Daniels,” Sandler sang. “Then stick the bottle right up his ass \/ But hungover as hell \/ That catholic boy always showed up to morning mass \/ We tell him, ‘Slow down, you’ll end up like [the late John] Belushi<\/strong> and [the late John] Candy<\/strong>‘ \/ He said, ‘Those guys are my heroes, that’s all fine and dandy \/ I ain’t making that stuff up \/ That’s the truth about my boy Chris Farley.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The track references several of the late star’s most memorable SNL<\/em> characters and sketches, such the Chippendales audition with the late Patrick Swayze<\/a><\/strong>, Bumblebee Girl, Gap Girls, and motivational speaker Matt Foley, who lives in a van down by the river. During Sandler’s musical performance, clips of Farley on SNL<\/em> and other throwback images of the actor were screened.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Other lyrics include, “The last big hang we had was at Timmy Meadows’ wedding party \/ We laughed all night long, all because of Farley \/ But a few months later the party came to an end \/ We flew out to Madison to bury our friend \/ Nothing was harder than saying goodbye \/ Except watching Chris’ father have his turn to cry” and “Hey buddy, life’s moved on but you still bring us so much joy \/ Make my kids laugh with your YouTube clips or Tommy Boy<\/em> \/ And when they ask me who’s the funniest guy I ever knew \/ I tell hands down without a doubt it’s you.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
