 Repeat intro for first verse:
 Christopher pulls  down his pants in  front of the national audience
 And he--  he's not too funny,  but he's big
 And he's not afraid,  he's got his best  friend, David Spade
 And they--  they make people laugh  a their skits
 He can do funny  characters  and funny voices
He  can impersonate  anyone
But  when it came  down to making  life's choices
 Well Chris,  he goofed on that  one
 strum):
 'Cause he's a fat  guy  in a little coat
A  fat guy, little coat
His  mother and father,  they never  understood
All  of the  stuff he spoke
 Hanging out, Dane  and Mike, they  don't know what to do
 They were hoping  he'd appear in  Coneheads 2
 And people would always  be laughing when he'd  play it off with a smile and a
 shrug
 "Richard, hey man, what's  happening?"
 And, "Brothers  don't shake hands, brothers hug!"
 And he lived  in a van down  by the river
 And he ate  government cheese
 "You're not using  those papers for writing,"
 "You're using  'em for rolling doobies."
 And it's sad  that he's gone
 And he can never  be replaced
 I laugh out loud  every time  I think about him
 When I think  of Chris  Farley's face
