 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

But will always live on
