Born in 1935 in Brooklyn New York

The son of Anna and Phil

At 19 years old he married my mother Judy

And immediately paid his first Bloomingdales bill

Right away they started on a family

3 smart kids popped out of mom's tummy

But then one steamy night Dad forgot to wear his raincoat

9 months later, out came the dummy

Dad was 6 foot 2 and 250 pounds

And was sweet as he was strong

He was also known to be pretty well endowed

But believe me he didn't pass that one along

I did get grandma's ass though

Oh, Stan the man was my hero

With a golf swing that made men cry

He'd take their money and put it in his top drawer

Then I'd steal it so I could get high

But he beat that habit out of me

Oh, dad thanks for letting me stay up late to watch Johnny Carson

Thanks for swimming with me at Livingston park

Thanks for telling me to always to punch a kid in the face

If he made an anti-Semitic remark

And say hi to both my grandmas and grandpas

And tell my dog meatball I miss him so

But most important dad, take advantage of being in heaven

Go bang Marilyn Monroe; Mom said its cool, just wear a raincoat

Oh, Stan the man was my hero

He still is and always will be

Cause he didn't give too much of crap about nothing

Except loving his family

Oh, Stan the man is gone

But will always live on
