Stan The Man |
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 Bloomingdale''''s bill Right away they started on a family Three smart kids popped out of Mom''''s tummy But then one steamy night Dad forgot to wear his raincoat Nine months later out came the dummy But he…took care... of me Oh, Stan the Man was my hero The coolest guy ever I swear He stayed up all night making me a clay volcano That''''s how I won the science fair He was 6 foot 2 and 250 pounds And as sweet as he was strong He was also known to be pretty well-endowed But, believe me, he didn''''t pass that one along His favorite singers were Leon Redbone and Johnny Cash His favorite ballplayers were Koufax and Mickey His favorite restaurant was the Stage Delicatessan His favorite movie was Little Nicky (Sorry G-dfather 1 and 2... maybe next time) Yeah, 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 dresser drawer Then I''''d steal it so I could get high But he…beat that habit…out of me… So, Dad, thanks for letting me stay up late to watch Johnny Carson Thanks for coaching all our games at Livingston Park Thanks for telling me to always punch a kid in the face If he made an anti-Semitic remark Yeah, and dont worry about Mom well always look after her Me, Scott, Val, Liz and the grandkids And when Jackie and I have children of our own We''''ll try to raise them just the way you did. So say "hi" to both my grandmas and grandpas Tell my dog Meatball I miss him so But most importantly, Dad, take advantage of being in heaven And go bang Marilyn Monroe Mo |
