[Intro]
C Am C Am
[Verse]
C Am
Born in nineteen thirty-five in Brooklyn, NY
C Am
Son of Anna and Phil
C Am
At nineteen years old he married my mother Judy
G F
And immediately paid his first Bloomingdale's bill
C Am
Right away they started on a family
C Am
Three smart kids popped out of mom's tummy
C Am
But then one steamy night dad forgot to wear his raincoat
G F
Nine months later out came the dummy . . .
F
but he took ... care of me
[Chorus 1]
C Am
Oh, 'Stan the Man' was my hero
C Am
The coolest guy ever, I swear
C Am
He stayed up all night making me a clay volcano
G F
That's how I won the science fair
[Verse]
C Am
He was 6'2, 200 and 50 lbs
C Am
And as 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
C Am
His fav'rite singers were Leon Redbone and Johnny Cash
C Am
His favorite ball players were Koufax and Mickey
C Am
His favorite restaurant was the state's delicatessen
G F
His favorite movie was 'Little Nicky'
F
Sorry 'Godfather I and II' - Maybe next time
[Chorus 2]
C Am
Yeah, '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 dresser drawer
G F
Then I'd steal it so I could get high...
F
But he ... beat that habit ... out of me
[Verse]
C Am
So dad, thanks for letting me stay up late to watch Johnny Carson
C Am
Thanks for coaching all our games in Livingston Park
C Am
Thanks for telling me to always punch a kid in the face
G F
If he made an anti-Semitic remark
C Am
Yeah, and don't worry 'bout mom, we'll always look after her
C Am
Me, Scott, Val, Liz, and the grandkids
C Am
And when Jacky and I have children of our own
G F
We'll try to raise them just the way you did
[Bridge]
C Am
So say 'hi' to both my grandmas and grandpas
C Am
Tell my dog, Meatball, I miss him so
C Am
But most important, take advantage of being in heaven
G F
And go bang Marilyn Monroe
Mom said ... it's cool ... just wear a raincoat
[Chorus 3]
C Am
Oh, 'Stan the Man' was my hero
C Am
Still is and always will be
C Am
Cause he didn't give too much a crap about nothin'
G F
Except loving his fam-i-ly
[Outro]
C Am
Well 'Stan the Man' is gone
C
But will always live on
