Flat Stanley Lyrics by SteveSongs

Orangutan Van

0

[Verse 1]
You might think by the sight of him
There's not much to see
He's wafer-thin, just a paper man
Destined for the garbage can
But he's more than two dimensions
He's got big dreams and bold intentions
There is no doubt
Just listen to me and you'll find out

[Chorus]
That he's more than a paper man (more than a paper man)
More than a paper man (more than a paper man)
His name is Flat Stanley
And he's more than a paper man

[Verse 2]
Now you may have read about the time
He got flattened out like a pizza pie
At first, his altered state
Was hard to tolerate
But now he can float just like a kite
Slide under a door shut tight
Fly around the world
With nothing but the first class postage rate

[Chorus]
'Cause he's more than a paper man (more than a paper man)
More than a paper man (more than a paper man)
His name is Flat Stanley
And I'm telling you
He is more than a paper man (more than a paper man)
More than a paper man (more than a paper man)
His name is Flat Stanley
And he's more than a paper man, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh, the sights he's seen
Palaces of kings and queens
And he's kept every stamp
From every place he's ever been

Singapore to Jacksonville
He's met actors, painters, teachers, leaders, and boys and girls
He carries their stories with him
All around the world
All around the world
All around the world

[Rap]
He went to Hong Kong to see a pagoda
Now he's flatter than a day-old soda
Back to Boston to watch the Sox
But I get such a big pop in a PO box
In Japan, he was king of origami
Flatter than baloney, flatter than salami
Rock hide and seek out in Waikiki
When I turn sideways you can't see me
Rock, paper, scissors, he's the best on the block
You better use scissors, Stanley covers the rock
From San Fran to Los Angeles, they say
"He's so flat, it's scandalous!"
From here to France, you better iron your pants
'Cause everybody's doing the Flat Stanley dance!

All around the world (yeah!)
All around the world

[Bridge]
Maybe someday you will find him at your door
He will share his stories and you can tell him yours
Your favorite jokes, silly rhymes
Memories of happy times
Scary tales, fairy tales
Dreams of swimmin' with the whales
No matter who you are or where you stand
Watching from the crowd or in the van
I hope you understand
That you can be
Not just what they see
Trust what's inside
And you will thrive

[Chorus]
And that you are more than a paper man (more than a paper man)
More than a paper man (more than a paper man)
His name is Flat Stanley
And I'm here to tell you that can be
More than a paper man (more than a paper man)
More than a paper man (more than a paper man)
His name is Flat Stanley
And he's more than a paper
More than a paper
More than a paper man
