Stanley

When I'm stepping out for the day
Or tripping down the interstate highway
I can think of only one thing that I need
A shiny lip and a round physique
A rubber top that never leaks
A hefty 32 ounce capacity

When I take a trip, Stanley
I can take a sip, Stanley
'Cause you keep it hot, Stanley
There's a lot of love in that thermal pot
Ooooooooh yeah

As a friend I think you're really neat
'Cause I can drop you from 50 feet
And you won't break like those cheaper lunch box ones
And you're so durable, you've won my trust
'Cause you may scratch but you'll never rust
And you'll be there for many years to come

When I twist your top, Stanley
And I hear that pop, Stanley
I just want to shout, Stanley
I tip you up and you pour it out
Oooooooooh yeah

That's right…great friend of the trucker, the construction worker
The road tripper
Great when you're camping, fishing, boating, skiing, or just on a picnic
Great friend of my father's
Which enabled him to stay on the job during lunch
And earn enough money to consider having a third child
That'd be me…..thanks Stanley!

And when there's no more left, Stanley
I feel a bit bereft, Stanley
But then I know I'm not, Oh Stanley 'cause I can
Fill you up at the next gas stop

When I take a trip, Stanley
I can take a sip, Stanley
'Cause you keep it hot, Stanley
There's a lot of love in that thermal pot
Ooooooooh yeah
