The song is a tribute to the essential workers and medical professionals risking their lives during the coronavirus pandemic.

Lyrics include: "Nurses slap your arm until they find a good vein. They wear Crocs and they tell you the truth. Nurses give you ice packs and pain medication while your doctor is smoking on the roof.

"Doctors and nurses will save us from this mess, if we get them the supplies that they need. And I hope they save us soon because I'm really, really sick of my family."

Sandler is a former Saturday Night Live star who is also known for his viral hits "Chris Farley," "Phone, Wallet, Keys" and "The Chanukah Song."
