Lazy Sunday Lyrics
[Verse 1: Andy Samberg, Chris Parnell, & Both]
Lazy Sunday, wake up in the late afternoon
Call Parnell just to see how he's doin'
Hello? What up, Parns? Yo, Samberg, what's crackin'?
You thinking what I'm thinking? Narnia! Man, it's happenin'
But first, my hunger pains are sticking, like duct tape
Let's hit up Magnolia and mack on some cupcakes
No doubt that bakery's got all the bomb frostings
I love those cupcakes like McAdams loves Gosling
[Verse 2: Andy Samberg, Chris Parnell, & Both]
Two; no, six; no, twelve, baker's dozen!
I told you that I'm crazy for these cupcakes, cousin
Yo, where's the movie playin'? Upper West Side, dude
Well, let's hit up Yahoo! Maps to find the dopest route
I prefer MapQuest; that's a good one, too
Google Maps is the best; true that; double true!
68th and Broadway; step on it, sucka
What you wanna do, Chris? Snack attack, motherfucker!
[Chorus: Andy Samberg & Chris Parnell]
It's the Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia
Yes, the Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia
We love that Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia
Pass that Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia
[Verse 3: Andy Samberg & Chris Parnell]
Yo, stop at the deli, the theater's overpriced
You've got the backpack? Gonna pack it up nice
Don't want security to get suspicious
Mr. Pibb and Red Vines equals crazy delicious
I'll reach in my pocket, pull out some dough
Girl acting like she never seen a ten befo'
It's all about the Hamiltons, baby
Throw the snacks in a bag and I'm ghost like Swayze
[Verse 4: Andy Samberg, Chris Parnell, & Both]
Roll up to the theater; ticket buying, what we're handlin'
You can call us Aaron Burr from the way we're dropping Hamiltons
Now parked in our seats, movie trivia's the illest
"What Friends alum starred in films with Bruce Willis?"
We answered so fast it was scary
Everyone stared in awe when we screamed "Matthew Perry!"
Now, quiet in the theater or it's gonna get tragic
We're bout to get taken to a dream world of magic, with
[Chorus: Andy Samberg & Chris Parnell]
It's the Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia
Yes, the Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia
We love that Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia
Pass that Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia

How did this song come about?
Akiva Schaffer:
We had only been there 2 ½ months, and had made one video with Forte eating lettuce, which finally got on the air. (“SNL” writer-producer) Mike Shoemaker said, ‘Hey, that worked, do it again.’ He didn’t interfere, he just wanted us to do more stuff like that.
Jorma Taccone:
We wan...
What was the process of creating the music video like?
It was just the four of us, so we could move quick. We borrowed the camera from Bill Hader’s wife, Maggie, who was a teacher’s assistant at New York Film Academy. We took the subway down on Thursday morning, then rolled around all day playing it off an iPod and a little speaker. We edited on the sam...
Have the artists made any comments on the song's popularity on YouTube?
Andy Samberg:
The idea of streaming video at a big audience was still new. It was not a fully formed machine at the time.
Jorma Taccone:
We’d never heard of YouTube until “Lazy Sunday” came out. [..] It was this double whammy: we always got associated with the Internet, but it was television that...
Have the artists commented on NBC taking the original video down from YouTube?
There were a lot of growing pains that came with being first because everybody was scrambling to catch up. I made weekly angry calls to NBC’s lawyers about their pulling the videos down. NBC didn’t like the idea that they were building YouTube. […] We thought it was an ad for the show, we wanted to...
