[Verse 1: Jay Pharoah/All]
Hold up, it's that time of the year again!
It's our month to shine, everybody lend your ear again
We about to get it in and set it off mentally
They really don't teach this stuff in school, it's a mystery
Black history, our forefathers paved the way
Here's 28 reasons to hug a black guy today
Number 1, we deserve a chance
2 through 28, slavery

[Chorus: Sasheer Zamata & Jay Pharoah]
28 reasons...
28 reasons, so many reasons to give a black guy a hug
28 reasons...
So many moments, so many heroes, so show our people love

[Verse 2: Kenan Thompson]
White people, we ain't tryna brawl
You know we ain't mad at all of y'all
We love Michael McDonald and Daryl Hall!
Put your hands up if you're down with the cause
Keep 'em up if your ancestors owned us
[Chorus: Sasheer Zamata & Jay Pharoah]
28 reasons
Number 3, slavery
Number 4, slavery

[Interlude: Bobby Moynihan & Kate McKinnon]
I hear what you're saying and that's real hip
But allow me to play devil's advocate
Sit down, sit down. Sit down
I'm, I'm sorry. Stupid...
You, sit

[Chorus: Sasheer Zamata & Jay Pharoah]
28 reasons...
28 reasons for the season
Power to the people, yeah
Put your hands up
28 reasons...
So many moments, so many heroes, so show our people love (oh yeah)
28 reasons...
We wanted many reasons
Did a lot of research
But slavery kept comin' up
28 reasons
[Outro: Kenan Thompson, Class & Sasheer Zamata]
When I say slavery, you say sorry
Slavery, sorry
Slavery, sorry
Oooh, yeah yeah yeah

[Skit: Kate McKinnon]
Very cool, very sorry and very cool!
