Sandler, Adam - Farley Lyrics






All right, guys, gonna do this one. This is a very special song. I hope you like it. It means a lot to us. Here we go. [cheering]

The first time I saw him he was sweeter than shit
Plaid jacket and belt too tight
He wasn't even doing a bit
Then he cartwheeled around the room
And slow danced with the cleaning lady
He was a one man party
You know I'm talking about
I'm talking about my friend Chris Farley

On a Saturday night my man would always deliver
Whether he was the bumblebee girl
Or living in a van down by the river
He loved the Bears and he could dance
That Chippendales with Swayze
When they replaced his coffee with Folgers
He went fuckin' crazy
The sexiest gap girl
Without him there'd be no lunch lady
In lunch lady land

Oh, I'm thinking about
I'm thinking about my boy
Chris Farley

After a show he'd drink a quarter Jack Daniels
And stick the bottle up his ass
But, hangover as hell
That catholic boy would still show up to morning mass
We tell him "Slow down, you'll end up like Belushi and Candy"
He said 'Those guys are my heroes, that's all fine and dandy"

I ain't making that shit up
That's the truth about my friend
Chris Farley

I saw him in the office crying with his headphones on
Listening to a KC And The Sunshine Band song
I said "Buddy, how the hell is that making you so sad"
Then he laughed and said "Justthinkin1 about my dad"

The last big hang we had was at Timmy Meadows wedding party
We laughed our balls off all nightlong, 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

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
And when they ask me who's the funniest guy I ever knew
I tell hands down without a doubt it's you

Yeah, I miss hanging out watching you trying to get laid
But most of all I miss watching you fuck with Spade
You 're a legend like you wanted
But I wish you were still here with me
And we would get on to shoot Grown Ups 3

Yeah, life ain't the same without you boy
And that's why I'm singing about
I'm singing about my friend Chris Farley
And if you make enough noise
Maybe he'll hear us
Give it up for the great
Chris Farley

By far the funniest fucking guy of all time, the Farls, man. Yeah, baby, so thank you. I couldn't wait to sing that to you guys, and I knew it would be special here. And thank you. [cheers and applause] He was the best. He was the best.

Sandler, Adam Farley Comments
  1. S.... ....

    What a great song and tribute to a friend. I seen his live show and like this video still draws the same amount of emotion and cheer from everyone in the crowd..
    Great friend to do something like that.

  2. T.... ....

    Chris Farley. never forget that man existed to make us all laugh!

  3. T.... ....

    Farley was a comedy beast

  4. J.... E....

    My man!

  5. s.... s....

    dude ADAM SANDLER IS SICK

  6. M.... ....

    Props to Sandler, I couldn't get through this without sobbing.

  7. V.... P....

    I mean for me that solo was something... For my boy chris

  8. J.... L....

    The people that disliked the video are morons.

  9. J.... C....

    Imagine Chris Farley in the Grown Ups series as Kevin James’ character. No shame to Kevin James, he is a good actor and he’s pretty funny, but let’s all be honest: Chris Farley would’ve made those movies 100x’s funnier (and they were pretty funny themselves)

  10. S.... P....

    Dammit! I miss Farley! And Phil Hartman!

  11. A.... A....

    I always come back to watch this, it warms my heart so much .. and cheers me up ..

  12. K.... R....

    @ 6:14 Roman Atwood is sitting there

  13. C.... ....

    Holy hell, I think I had a real religions experience watching this. Incredible!

  14. B.... Y....

    THE KING THANKS SANDMAN FOR ALL US OLD GUYS!!

  15. R.... M....

    Every single time, EVERY SINGLE TIME, 😭 no shame none.

  16. j.... f....

    Always loved Sandler... But this is My Favorite song hes done... Really awesome...

  17. j.... m....

    This tribute is by far my favorite performance by Adam Sandler. I was a huge fan of Chris Farley growing up. He had his demons and unfortunately felt the only way to deal with them was to release himself from this world. I wonder if he knew how remarkable a person he was and how much laughter he brought to everyone. This song is so heartbreaking but beautiful. Chris Farley in my opinion, is a legend. He will be forever missed. ❤️

  18. C.... C....

    A close friend of mine died days after I first saw this. It was the only death that has affected me so deeply and I really connected with this song at the time. I grew up watching snl and Chris Farley movies with my dad and this just means so much to me. RIP Chris and RIP Ada

  19. I.... A....

    Wow all that chillin with Deftones paid off
    Sandler you're dop3 af

  20. Z.... M....

    Fucking miss Chris Farley so much.

  21. k.... k....

    Great song by a great comedian

  22. M.... C....

    Imagine when it's Adam's turn to go up to those gates and when he sees Chris Chris will be waiting with a six pack and then he'll put his arm around Adam and probably ask him the weirdest question ever.

  23. 2.... ....

    People give Sandler so much shit for putting out the same films but this man really cares about his friends. Itos nice to see this in a business where people care more about their success than their friends.

  24. S.... ....

    This song broke me.

  25. M.... C....

    So special.

  26. J.... ....

    How that place didn't become a swimming pool that night I'll never know.

  27. e.... f....

    This is equal parts touching and tragic

  28. J.... M....

    Happy Birthday Chris

  29. C.... i....

    Just think about grownups if Chris Farley was in that RIP man you bring joy to me man.

  30. J.... R....

    I miss chris farley!!! He was the shit!!! My favorite movie is Tommy Boy!!!! 😭😭😭😭❤
    Adam Sandler nailed it!! I love this song! I cried so hard when I heard of Chris s passing! All the great ones go way too soon!🙏

  31. t.... ....

  32. J.... L....

    I have a lump in my throat, but then again i just ate a bagel. Awesome clip Adam, boy that lump is a strong one.

  33. P.... N....

    Chris is up there smiling

  34. f.... t....

    Fuck you Adam Sandler

    You just made me cry while I was washing the dishes

  35. I.... ....

    Holy shit that's beautiful...

    Love Chris Farley!

    Insults Are Easier

  36. G.... C....

    Man, Adam Sandler is one of my favourite comedians, just because of this, it’s not all about making me laugh at this point, i want to know that the person inside is also good, and this proves that he is good, he cares so much about Chris Farley

  37. D.... F....

    Why am I crying and laughing at the same time?

  38. J.... S....

    This is as good as it gets. Just amazing....

  39. M.... 2....

    My good friend Billy idolized Farley. The similarities between Billy and Farley are countless. In March 2018 Billy left this world and this song will forever bring a tear to my eye making me think of him. Any time Sandler says Farley if you replaced it with Billy it would still be true. RIP my friend.

  40. N.... T....

    More like Adam Shredler.... He can still rip

  41. J.... M....

    That's a best friend for you.

  42. B.... T....

    The 1.6K people who gave this a 👎 obviously never hired the Herlihy Boy.

  43. N.... B....

    I grew up watching Adam Sandler movies. Then I grew out of them. Now I'm coming back to see he is talented (Uncut Gems and this) and produces serious works too.

  44. I.... M....

    After knowing the story of this man after 22 years makes me cry thank you Adam Sandler for this tribute made me laugh and cry

  45. A.... N....

    THIS AND UNCUT GEMS!!?? Amazing. Great for him and I'm so happy everyone is supporting him like crazy over The Oscar Snub.

  46. a.... r....

  47. a.... r....

    Whoa is that the guy from uncut gems??!!!??

  48. J.... R....

  49. J.... P....

  81. L.... i....

    Damn. That had me crying. Wtf. Sandler is a dope ass friend to have I bet. Talented as fuck. Love you man. Been making me laugh forever and I hope for many more years to come . I’ll shut the fuck up now before I write a story. Lol.

  82. M.... A....

    Wow Sandler is a great musician! Brain poooof.

  83. E.... G....

    The best tribute I have ever seen, can't stop watching. If I could chose one celebrity to drink beer with in my garage it would be Adam Sandler. What a great guy, and the fact that he played a Fender with a Gibson strap just adds to his awesomeness, great job brother!

  84. N.... C....

    Adam Sandler is actually extremely talented

  85. T.... K....

    2:37 Chris's gorgeous Victorias Secret model girlfriend. Remember the chick at the pool in Tommy Boy who dives in naked? Yeah, that was his real life chick. Surprised? I'm not.

  86. E.... ....

    I wasn't alive for Farley's comedy and the bits I've seen don't make me laugh a huge amount. But this has made me cry - because it's just about a man missing his friend. And in the end that hurts everyone. He was just a guy that made people happy.

  87. K.... K....

    I like Adam Sandler way more as a singer songwriter than an actor

  88. J.... S....

    I heard the film he did last year was good.

  89. O.... U....

    Excellent perfromance by Adam Sandler. This video makes me sad and funny at same time.

  90. F.... H....

    This is one of the best Tributes I’ve ever heard. And it hits so much more knowing Adam Sandler did this straight from the heart about his dear friend and one who’s made us all laugh, Chris Farley. The Guitar playing and the Singing is absolutely great.

  91. T.... o....

    Imagine having Chris Farley playing Kevin James' character? Itll be comedy overload! Kevin James is funny but I can imagine the Motivational Speaker/Tommy Boy character mixed with a new ingredients of laughter wouldve been absolutely hilarious! God Bless You Mr. Farley. A great motivational comedian- always made you laugh

  92. E.... G....

    Wow, just wow, great job!

  93. J.... I....

    Damn shit made me shed a tear and damn Sadler can shred son fuck!!

  94. R.... ....

    [Guitar Solo] A very good one at that for a celebrity. Beats Lil Wayne tenfold.

  95. b.... ....

    I love you Adam

  96. S.... S....

    I lost it when he said a few months later we flew out to Madison to bury our friend
