(Just a) Simple Sponge

[Spongebob]

Sure, I spend my days floating around

Head in the bubbles and my feet on the ground

But there is more to me than just my name

Give me a chance and I could change the game

And maybe one day Mr. Krabs would say

The Krusty Krab's yours, it's your lucky day

That is what I've always wanted

Then I can finally say I've done it

Let me have adventure

Be a contender and more

[Sponges]

'Cause you're not a simple sponge

[Spongebob]

I wish he'd see I'm not just the sponge next door

[Sponges]

No, you're not a simple sponge

[Spongebob]

There's gotta be a better way

A way to save this town I love

But how can I stop the end of the world?

Am I just a simple sponge?

[Sponges]

No, you're not a simple sponge

No, you're not a simple sponge

[Spongebob]

So what if I'm a sponge? It's what I wanna be

There isn't anyone who stretches like me

Employee of the month two years in a row

Undisputed master of my own dojo

And everyone here knows that they can depend

On this expert jellyfisher who's a trusted friend

I can eat a lot of ice cream

I can even play my nose like

Let me have adventure

Be a contender and more

[Sponges]

'Cause you're not a simple sponge

[Spongebob]

Can't he see I'm not just the sponge next door?

[Sponges]

No, you're not a simple—

[Spongebob]

I wish that I could turn back time

I never thought my world could end

I only wanna hang out with my friends

But fear, I fear, is dragging us down

[All]

And now there's panic that's run amok

[Spongebob]

In my simple town

[Sponges]

No, no, no, no

[Spongebob]

No!

Just give me adventure

Be a contender and more

[Sponges]

'Cause you're not a simple sponge

[Spongebob]

I'm real sure I'm not just the sponge next door

[Sponges]

No, you're not a simple sponge

[Spongebob]

I'm gonna find a better way

A way to save this life I love

And I am gonna stop the end of the—

[Mr. Krabs]

No!

You're just a simple sponge

[Spongebob]

You're wrong, Mr. Krabs. I'll find a way to stop that volcano from erupting

[Mr. Krabs]

You are still a simple sponge

[Spongebob]

I'll use science, like Sandy said. I'm gonna need her on the team

[Mr. Krabs]

'Cause you're just a simple sponge

[Spongebob]

And Patrick, too; he's super strong

We'll be the best team ever! Sandy's brains, plus Patrick's brawn, plus my-

[Mr. Krabs]

Yes, a very simple sponge

[Spongebob]

Well, I'm not sure what my thing is, but that won't stop me

When the going gets tough, this sponge gets going!

[Spongebob]

No, I'm not a simple sponge

[Sponges]

Let me have adventure

Be a contender and more

[Spongebob]

I am not a simple sponge

[Sponges]

I'll make him see I'm not just the sponge next door

[All]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Spongebob]

Now at last, I have found a way

A way to save this town I love

I am not

[All]

A simple Sponge
