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  
 
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  
 
F  
But he took care of me  
 
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
