Lazy Sunday
Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 thinkin' what I'm thinkin' (narnia!) man it's happenin'
(but first my hunger pangs are stickin' 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 Gossling

(two!) no six! (no twelve!) bakers 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 dat) double true!
68th to Broadway (step on it sucker)
What'cha wanna do Chris? (snack attack motherfucker!)

Hit the chronic (what?) cles of Narnia
Yes the chronic (what?) cles of Narnia
We love the chronic (what?) cles of Narnia
Pass the chronic (what?) cles of Narnia

Yo stop at the deli, the theater's overpriced
(you got the backpack?) gonna pack it up nice
(don't want security to get suspicious!)
Mr. Pibb and red vines equals crazy delicious!
(yo reach in my pocket, pull out some dough)
Girl acted like she'd never seen a ten befo'
It's all about the hamilton's baby
Throw the snacks in the bag (and I'm a ghost like swayze)

(roll up to the theater) ticket buyin', what we're handlin'
(you can call us Aaron burr) from the way we're droppin' Hamilton's
(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 about to get taken to a dream world of magic!)

Hit the chronic (what?) cles of Narnia
Yes the chronic (what?) cles of Narnia




We love the chronic (what?) cles of Narnia
Pass the chronic (what?) cles of Narnia

Overall Meaning

The song "Lazy Sunday" by Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg depicts a typical Sunday for two friends who are looking forward to a lazy day. The song's first lines suggest that the duo has woken up late in the afternoon and decides to call each other to catch up. They later decide to visit a bakery called Magnolia and indulge in some cupcakes. As they continue on their adventure, they use different online mapping tools to find their way to the theatre. The chorus of the song, "Hit the chronic (what?) cles of Narnia," is repeated multiple times, representing their excitement to watch the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia" while also partaking in some pot.


Throughout the song, the duo jovially jokes about the common occurrences on a lazy Sunday, such as snacking and watching movies. The lyrics show the comical aspect of people's typical lazy Sundays and how one can make the most of their leisure time. The song also reflects the importance of good company as friends can make even the simplest of activities interesting and enjoyable.

@stevencooper1103

I think Lin heard that line and worked backwards to make Hamilton.

@captainshiner42

@@stevencooper1103 What's also interesting is that Lin was on an episode of Brooklyn 99.

This is such a great time capsule of mid-2000s culture

@ShockerTopper

TJ Hastie isn’t it? It came out in 2006 or something right? Back when I was still in my 20’s as I recall haha

@secularmonk5176

@@ShockerTopper This is the video that literally ... really, LITERALLY ... made me appreciate YouTube as a 34-year-old (January 2006) ... wait, I was 34 then ... that means ... oh my god ... (but before you get judgmental, Chris Parnell is 4 1/2 years older)

Notice that in Dec 2005, Google wasn't the dominant option for online info (although it was already getting momentum as the "do no evil" platform)
