So here's a guy, a guy we'll call him Stanley And Stanley wasn't terribly terribly manly I mean he wore pants like everybody else And his stance wasn't so funny by itself He wasn't into sports for example But his collection of coloring books was ample He wasn't into guns or knives or bats But he sure was into knitting hats He didn't like to play poker with the guys But he loved getting up early to watch the sun rise And it's true he did like to drink But he preferred a daquiri that was pink And if you say to me, so was he gay? Even if you say there's nothing wrong with gay Hey hey, you should know that you're being a brat Because sexuality just is not tied with that I mean why do we define masculinity With an affinity for all this stupid shit That's nowhere in the vicinity Of what it is to be a man My man named Stanley Maybe not manly But he was handy And his knitted hats were really dandy For what it's worth Stanley liked to take a girl to bed And he honestly had a pretty good head For knowing what needed to be said It's not that he was fake or anything like that But he knew how to write a poem to make a girl gasp So to speak, cuz I don't want to suggest anything off beat 'Cuz Stanley was sweet, but his passion was real And in the morning he'd make a yummy meal And maybe they'd laugh and joke and then feel all the feels That would send them back to the bed If you know what I'm saying My man named Stanley Maybe not manly His omelets were fancy And his poems made your heart dancy So you know we've got this all wrong I mean Stanley has been fine all along Maybe it's just time to redefine masculinity So that it's more in the vicinity Of where the future needs our affinity And maybe we need to look at the word manly Cuz Stanley was perfectly fine Man, he was happy and successful and quite a fine dude So you need to unglue yourself from this stale attitude I mean it's just rude to be so rigid and exclude The many ways that we can exude our humanitude I mean, dude! Dude My man named Stanley Maybe not manly But sweet as candy And tougher than... manly
