[Keegan-Michael Key]
We've gathered together for ten plus years
To celebrate your sport and honor your peers
And though the league knew this year would be daunting
They still upped our budget with the fines paid for taunting
(spoken)
You know who you are
I'm the biggest football fan that you'll ever meet
And I can't believe tonight, I've got this front row seat
For the winners who make us cheer, and touching stories that get us crying
Which is something I know all about, 'cause I root for the Lions
Right now, the Rams and Bengals are bracing for their fight
You don't have to play this weekend, so let's throw down tonight
It's the NFL Honors, a night to strut your stuff
Things are finally back to normal...
(spoken)
...or you're close enough
Yeah, we're back, live on ABC
Yeah, we're back, will Cooper Kupp win MVP?
Or a quarterback, maybe older than 43?
Or perhaps, a host of Jeopardy?
Yeah we're back, with trophies and free liquor
[Derrick Henry]
Running backs
[Keegan-Michael Key]
Receivers and only one kicker!
(spoken)
Oh oh wait, no no no, there is a- there is another kicker!
No, that's an usher
And we're back, we're back, we're back
We're back, we're back, we're back
Just the Hall of Famers!
We're back, we're back, we're back
Just the fans!
We're back, we're back, we're back
Just the uh...tight ends who retired, and they came back to play with their bestest buddy!
[Backup singers]
We're back, we're back, we're back
[Keegan-Michael Key, spoken]
Uh Gronk, that's you, buddy
[Rob Gronkowski, spoken]
My bad, Keegan
[Keegan-Michael Key]
You want in on this song?
[Rob Gronkowski]
Sure, what do I do?
[Keegan-Michael Key]
Ok ok, it's super simple. Alright? I'm just gonna, I'm gonna start a verse, alright? And then, all you have to do is say "Gronk" when I cue you
[Rob Gronkowski]
Yeah, that's easy
[Keegan-Michael Key]
Is that good?
[Rob Gronkowski]
I can do that
[Keegan-Michael Key, rapped]
And even with Godwin and Lenny on the hurt list, and AB shirtless
The Bucs were never out of it
How? Let me shout a bit
About a man, the king of keg stands
Brady's trophy throwin' rowin', one of the best to el soy fiesta
Tommy's best friend, his tight end
And when he drives, he likes to honk
He's standing right next to me, his name is...
[Rob Gronkowski]
Rob!
[Keegan Michael Key]
That works too. 3! 4!
(sung)
We're back, we're back, we're back
We're back, we're back, we're back
Yeah, we're back, and even refs can't spoil this tune
Right, Dak?
[Dak Prescott]
I think it's still too soon
[Keegan-Michael Key]
Yeah, we're back, with TJ Watt, he's the man
He likes to sack, he shares the record with Strahan
And Stray, if you're watching, it's okay if he takes your place
TJ may get more sacks one day, but he's never peed in space
Then Ben retired, and Tom Brady retired, what legacies they created?
Then Tom didn't retire, then he did retire
Hold on, I'm getting updated
No, he's still retired, then Alex Smith retired
Oh, Tom's coming back to play!
False alarm, he's still retired
Things could change everyday
But still, we're back, so many legends I respect
Yeah, we're back, who am I gonna sing with next?
(spoken)
No way, not happening
(sung)
Roger, oh Roger, even you must feel blessed
To be out here amongst the best of the best
Tonight, you're gonna party with Irvin, Mack and Suggs
[Roger Goodell]
Keegan, like the draft: I'm just here for hugs!
[Keegan-Michael Key, spoken]
Wow that just happened! Let's get it in there!
Oh my gosh! So that's how a draft hug feels like!
(sung)
And we're back, to relive this year's best plays
Yeah, we're back, and the best games on Sundays
And Saturdays and Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays
But never ever ever on Wednesdays
Well, probably, eventually on Wednesdays
Yeah, we're back, we're back, we're back
We're back, we're back, we're back
We're back, we're back, we're back (Big finish, everybody!)
We're back, we're back, we're back
