lyrics

Stanley worked hard all of his life
But before he died he turned to his wife and said
"Shirley, I'm retiring
Shirley, I'm retiring"

But Shirley said "Stan, you're only 34
You've still got to work a little bit more
Before retiring
Baby, keep dreaming!"

So Stanley waited
Stanley waited

But it turns out that Shirley wasn't right in the head
Stanley was 73 and all but dead
And he was retiring
Stanley was retiring

But Stan was a loving man and cared for his wife
He waited on hand and foot the rest of his life
His time spent retiring
Naturally, went to Shirley

Stanley waited
Stanley, Stanley's still waiting
Stanley... all for Shirley
