Prompt:

Write an emotional-yet-playful farewell song for Stan, a beloved Chick-fil-A legend who’s moving on to a new job. Capture the bittersweet spirit of saying goodbye to someone larger than life—literally and figuratively. Stan stood 6’9”, had a booming deep voice that echoed across the kitchen (even when he didn’t mean to), and was famously the friendliest guy anyone ever met. Include lines about how his laugh filled the store, how his quotes—sometimes bizarre, often hilarious—became iconic (“Did he really say that during a lunch rush?!”), and how Graham and the whole team will miss him deeply. The chorus should celebrate his presence, like “Stan, the man with a heart so grand,” while the bridge can touch on how quiet the store feels now. End with a mix of smiles and tears, with everyone shouting one of his signature phrases in unison. [Style: soulful pop-rock farewell anthem with group vocals and a nostalgic tone, like a mix of Ben Rector, The Fray, and a Pixar movie credits song]

Lyrics:

Title: Stan, the Man with a Heart So Grand
Tags: soulful pop-rock, emotional, storytelling, nostalgic anthem

[Verse 1]
He stood tall at six-foot-nine,
Voice like thunder through the line,
Every shift, a show, a vibe,
With a laugh that lit the fry side.
“Did he really say that?” mid-lunch rush,
Quotes so wild, they'd make us blush,
He’d sing to the sauce, bless every bun,
Stan made work feel kinda fun.

[Chorus]
Stan, the man with a heart so grand,
Echoed joy like a marching band,
From the grill to the drive-thru lane,
He turned routine into champagne.
Now the kitchen feels a little less bright,
But your spirit’s here, every night.

[Verse 2]
Graham swears he hears you still,
Telling tales on the nugget grill,
The rookie’s quoting you like lore,
While wiping down the hallway floor.
“You can’t rush greatness!” you’d boom,
Even when just mopping the room,
You made us laugh, then made us think,
And dared us all to dream in sync.

[Chorus]
Stan, the man with a heart so grand,
Echoed joy like a marching band,
From the grill to the drive-thru lane,
He turned routine into champagne.
Now the kitchen feels a little less bright,
But your spirit’s here, every night.

[Bridge]
[Melancholy Interlude]
Now there’s quiet where your voice would soar,
The silence hums, but we want more.
Still, we smile through the sting,
‘Cause legends leave a lasting ring.

[Chorus - Group Vocals]
Stan, the man with a heart so grand,
Echoed joy like a marching band,
From the grill to the drive-thru lane,
He turned routine into champagne.
Now the kitchen feels a little less bright,
But your spirit’s here, every night.

[Big Finish / Outro]
And as we wipe down one more tray,
We’ll hear your voice in our own way,
With one last cheer, no need to plan:
“FRIES BEFORE GUYS!” — that’s our Stan.
[End]
