This is the story of a man named Stanley
A simple man with a moderately simple job
To sit at his desk, and push buttons all day long
His job was so simple in fact, he could even work from home!
And so Stanley sat pushing buttons all day,
Without a thought in the world
Until one day, his buttons stopped working!
How could this be?
How would he do his job?
Stanley had to fix this
Stanley stepped out of his office through the door
Took the stairway up to check the second floor
To the right Stanley kept his storage,
That was where his instincts led
But instead of right,
He set his sights on the room to the left instead
Stanley knew this room was not the proper choice
But he sat down and ignored his inner voice
This whole story thing was something Stanley couldn't comprehend
Let's start over, and find a proper end!
Stanley's buttons had blah, blah, blah, you know how this goes
Stanley had to fix this
Stanley took the right hand door, no Stanley right!
It appeared that Stanley wasn't very bright
Now the story's utter rubbish, and it's frankly all your fault
Your disdain for my directions brought our plot-line to a halt!
Let me see if I can get us back on course
Oh dear, now how'd we find ourselves outdoors?
I admit this all seems foreign, but I loathe to recommend
We start over and find a proper end!
Or at least something with air conditioning
Hang on, Stanley I have an idea
Let's try something different
This should make our story shine
The Stanley Parable Adventure Line!
Now the plot is much more clear
Why'd it lead us into here?
No that's not right, Oh surely not!
Is this much closer to the plot?
How's it worse with every turn
Oh isn't this a lovely fern?
Well, isn't it?
No, no I suppose it isn't
My standards are just becoming painfully low
Stanley took the- Hold on, Stanley's disappeared
Stanley slept through his alarm, just as I feared
Well our story doesn't need him, what did Stanley ever do?
We'll find him a replacement, like you
Yes it's perfect, this new Stanley's much improved
Other than the fact that "Stanley" hasn't moved
Come on, make us a decision!
Think like Stanley, play pretend!
Oh I wouldn't, Oh you did
Then it's time for me to bid
You and Stanley
A proper end!
But the video had so little budget,
That instead of a massive fiery explosion
It simply cut to black
