Stacy’s Mom Lyrics
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
[Verse 1]
Stacy, can I come over after school? (After school)
We can hang around by the pool (Hang by the pool)
Did your mom get back from her business trip? (Business trip)
Is she there, or is she trying to give me the slip? (Give me the slip)
[Pre-Chorus]
You know, I'm not the little boy that I used to be
I'm all grown up now, baby can't you see
[Chorus]
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
She's all I want and I've waited for so long
Stacy, can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's mom
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
[Verse 2]
Stacy, do you remember when I mowed your lawn? (Mowed your lawn)
Your mom came out with just a towel on (Towel on)
I could tell she likes me from the way she stared (The way she stared)
And the way she said, "You missed a spot over there" (A spot over there)
And I know that you think it's just a fantasy
But since your dad walked out, your mom could use a guy like me
[Chorus]
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
She's all I want, and I've waited for so long
Stacy, can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong
But I'm in love with Stacy's mom
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on (She's got it going)
She's all I want and I've waited for so long (Waited and waited)
Stacy can't you see your just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong, but oh oh
(I know it might be wrong)
I'm in love with (Stacy's mom oh oh)
(Stacy's mom oh oh)
I'm in love with Stacy's mom
About
“Stacy’s Mom” was originally written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003, but it was so commonly misattributed to Bowling for Soup, they recorded their own cover in 2011 as a B-side to their single “I’ve Never Done Anything Like This”. Jaret Reddick stated in an interview:
I’ve basically just taken care of a large part of the population that’s been wrong for years, and I’ve made them right.
This misattribution is also referenced in the single artwork. Next to the title of this song, it reads:
Everyone thought they did it anyway…so they freakin did it! Finally you can say this is your favorite song by BFS and not look like an idiot!

Well quite honestly, ever since that song came out a very large part of the population of the planet think that Bowling For Soup does that song. And it’s one of those things where we’ve been playing shows for years and years and people hold up signs that say ‘Stacy’s Mom’, and we’re like ‘we’re not the ‘Stacy’s Mom’ band we’re the ‘1985’ band’. And so I think we just got to the point where it was like if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. So now if you’re like ‘My favourite song by Bowling For Soup is ‘Stacy’s Mom’’ then people won’t think you’re an idiot. They’ll go ‘oh, I like that one too’ or ‘that’s a really nice cover song’. Either way, you’re fine. So I’ve basically just taken care of a large part of the population that’s been wrong for years, and I’ve made them right.
