(Just a) Simple Sponge

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

('Cause you're not a simple sponge)

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

(No, you're not a simple sponge)

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?

(No, you're not a simple sponge)

(No, you're not a simple sponge)

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

('Cause you're not a simple sponge)

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

(No, you're not a simple-)

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

And now there's panic that's run amok

In my simple town

(No, no, no, no)

No!

Just give me adventure

I'm a contender and more

('Cause you're not a simple sponge)

I will show I'm not just the sponge next door

(No, you're not a simple sponge)

I'm gonna find a better way

A way to save this life I love

And I am gonna stop the end of the-

(No! You're just a simple sponge)

You're wrong, Mr. Krabs

I'll find a way to stop that volcano from erupting

(You are still a simple sponge)

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

('Cause you're just a simple sponge)

And Patrick, too, he's super strong

We'll be the best team ever!

Sandy's brains, plus Patrick's brawn, plus my-

(Yes, a very simple sponge)

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

When the going gets tough, this sponge gets going!

No, I'm not a simple sponge

(Let me have adventure, be a contender and more)

I am not a simple sponge

(Today we'll see I'm not just the sponge next door)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now at last, I have found a way

A way to save this town I love

I am not a simple sponge
