C Am
Born in 1935 in Brooklyn New York
C Am
The son of Anna and Phil
C Am
At 19 years old he married my mother Judy
G F
And immediately paid his first Bloomingdales bill
C Am
Right away they started on a family
C Am
3 smart kids popped out of mom's tummy
C Am
But then one steamy night Dad forgot to wear his raincoat
G F
9 months later, out came the dummy
C Am
Dad was 6 foot 2 and 250 pounds
C Am
And was sweet as he was strong
C Am
He was also known to be pretty well endowed
G F
But believe me he didn't pass that one along
I did get grandma's ass though
C Am
Oh, Stan the man was my hero
C Am
With a golf swing that made men cry
C Am
He'd take their money and put it in his top drawer
G F
Then I'd steal it so I could get high
F~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C
But he beat that habit out of me
C Am
Oh, dad thanks for letting me stay up late to watch Johnny Carson
C Am
Thanks for swimming with me at Livingston park
C Am
Thanks for telling me to always to punch a kid in the face
G F
If he made an anti-Semitic remark
C Am
And say hi to both my grandmas and grandpas
C Am
And tell my dog meatball I miss him so
C Am
But most important dad, take advantage of being in heaven
G Am F~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go bang Marilyn Monroe; Mom said its cool, just wear a raincoat
C Am
Oh, Stan the man was my hero
C Am
He still is and always will be
C Am
Cause he didn't give too much of crap about nothing
G F
Except loving his family
C G F
Oh, Stan the man is gone
C~~~
But will always live on
