==Lyrics==
{{Lyr|SpongeBob|Sure, I spend my days floating around}}
{{Lyr|Head in the bubbles and my feet on the ground}}
{{Lyr|But there is more to me than just my name}}
{{Lyr|Give me a chance and I could change the game}}

{{Lyr|And maybe one day Mr. Krabs would say}}
{{Lyr|"The Krusty Krab's yours, it's your lucky day"}}
{{Lyr|That is what I've always wanted,}}
{{Lyr|Then I can finally say I've done it}}

{{Lyr|Let me have adventure}}
{{Lyr|Be a contender and more}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|'Cause you're not a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|I wish he'd see I'm not just the sponge next door}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|No, you're not a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|There's gotta be a better way}}
{{Lyr|A way to save this town I love}}
{{Lyr|But how can I stop the end of the world?}}
{{Lyr|Am I just a simple sponge?}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|No, you're not a simple sponge}}
{{Lyr|No, you're not a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|So what if I'm a sponge? It's what I wanna be}}
{{Lyr|There isn't anyone who stretches like me}}
{{Lyr|Employee of the month two years in a row}}
{{Lyr|Undisputed master of my own dojo}}

{{Lyr|And everyone here knows that they can depend}}
{{Lyr|On this expert jellyfisher who's a trusted friend}}
{{Lyr|I can eat a lot of ice cream}}
{{Lyr|I can even play my nose like [flute trill]}}

{{Lyr|Let me have adventure}}
{{Lyr|Be a contender and more}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|'Cause you're not a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|Can't he see I'm not just the sponge next door?}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|No, you're not a simple—}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|I wish that I could turn back time}}
{{Lyr|I never thought my world could end}}
{{Lyr|I only wanna hang out with my friends}}
{{Lyr|But fear, I fear, is dragging us down}}

{{Lyr|Everyone|And now there's panic that's run amok}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|In my simple town}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|No, no, no, no}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|No!}}
{{Lyr|Just give me adventure}}
{{Lyr|Be a contender and more}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|'Cause you're not a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|I'm real sure I'm not just the sponge next door}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|No, you're not a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|I'm gonna find a better way}}
{{Lyr|A way to save this life I love}}
{{Lyr|And I am gonna stop the end of the—}}

{{Lyr|Mr. Krabs|No!}}
{{Lyr|You're just a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|"You're wrong, Mr. Krabs. I'll find a way to stop that volcano from erupting."}}

{{Lyr|Mr. Krabs|You are still a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|"I'll use science, like Sandy said. I'm gonna need her on the team."}}

{{Lyr|Mr. Krabs|'Cause you're just a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|"And Patrick, too; he's super strong. }}
{{Lyr|We'll be the best team ever! Sandy's brains, plus Patrick's brawn, plus my..."}}

{{Lyr|Mr. Krabs|Yes, a very simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|"Well, I'm not sure what my thing is, but that won't stop me.}}
{{Lyr|When the going gets tough, this sponge gets going!"}}

{{Lyr|No, I'm not a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|Let me have adventure}}
{{Lyr|Be a contender and more}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|I am not a simple sponge}}

{{Lyr|Sponges|I'll make him see I'm not just the sponge next door}}

{{Lyr|Everyone|Yeah, yeah, yeah}}

{{Lyr|SpongeBob|Now at last, I have found a way}}
{{Lyr|A way to save this town I love}}
{{Lyr|I am not}}

{{Lyr|Everyone|A simple sponge}}
