Well I never saw it comin'
        E     B   E
I got fired from SNL

[Verse 2]
           E
Between seasons
          E7
I hear a nasty rumour
     A                  E
That I was getting the sack
    A                   E
I tried to call Lorne Michaels

But he never called me back

[Verse 3]
         E                     
I guess NBC had enough of Crazy 
   E7
Spoonhead
          A                  E
And the songs I sang on the news
 A                         E
Maybe they were sick of Cantine Boy
        E              B        E
But I think they just hate the Jews

[Verse 4]
       E
I was fired
      E7
Not rehired
         A               E
Well it made me sad and blue
   A                  E
I told my boy Chris Farelly I got 
fired
               E           B      
And he said "SANDMAN, THEY FIDD  
      E

Then I went on "In Living Colour"
              E                  B
Three weeks later, they took it

"I wasn't? How is that even 
possible?"
N.C.
"I dunno, but be patient because 
it's coming soon."

[Verse 7]
         C#m                A
Well it broke my heart to pieces
       E          B
Cause SNL was my home
 C#m                        A
Where could I do my silly voices 
now?
   E             B
I never felt so alone

[Verse 8]
             E
Well, I was fired
         E7

 A                   E
NBC said that I was done
        A                          
Then I made over 4 billion Dollars 
        E
at the Box Office
      E               B     E
So I guess you could say I won

[Verse 9]
          E
So I was FIDD
                   E7
But tonight, I'm D HIDD
               A           E
And I'm the happiest man ALIVE

Cause it feels so good to be back 
with you here tonight
