There Once Was A Man Named Stanley

There Once Was A Man Named Stanley

There Once Was A Man Named Stanley is a limerick created by the Narrator in the Out of Map Ending after pressing "YES" when asked if the player is sick of this gag yet. The song is about Stanley (mainly insulting him) and his button-pushing job.

The instruments included in this song is solely a guitar, presumably played by the Narrator. After the lyrics end, the guitar continues to play for a while longer before slowing down and going off-note, then ceases completely, leaving the player in the white void in silence until they manually restart the game.

Lyrics

There once was a man named Stanley,
who people considered so manly.
But the truth must be told,
he was not very old
and was quite particularly gangly.

What Stanley liked most was buttons.
He pushed them like some kind of glutton.
He did it all day in a meaningful way
but his brain had long ceased to function.

Which is why he is in this parable,
and lives an existence quite terrible
and if you are not strong,
and keep playing along,
you too will become quite unbearable. (Yeees!)
You too will become quite unbearable!
