At nineteen years old he married my mother Judy

Right away they started on a family

      C                              Am

He was also known to be pretty well endowed

      G                                 F
But believe me he didn't pass that one along

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

        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

C                                        Am
So say 'hi' to both my grandmas and grandpas

C                                 Am
Tell my dog, Meatball, I miss him so

C                                     Am

Except loving his fam-i-ly

Well 'Stan the Man' is gone

But will always live on
