<poem>

[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 will 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

[COMPANY] 'Cause you're not a simple sponge

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

[COMPANY] 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?

[COMPANY] 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

[COMPANY] 'Cause you're not a simple sponge

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

[COMPANY] 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 And now there's

[SPONGEBOB & COMPANY] Panic that's run amok

[SPONGEBOB] In my simple town

[COMPANY] No, no, no, no, no

[SPONGEBOB] No! Just give me adventure, I'm a contender and more

[COMPANY] 'Cause you're not a simple sponge

[SPONGEBOB] I will show I'm not just the sponge next door

[COMPANY] No, you're not a simple sponge

[SPONGEBOB] I'm gonna find a better way A way to save the life I love And I am gonna stop the end of the...

[KRABS] No! You're just a simple sponge

[SPONGEBOB, spoken] You're wrong, Mr. Krabs! I'll find a way to stop that volcano from erupting!

[KRABS] You are still a simple sponge

[SPONGEBOB, spoken] I'll use science like Sandy said! I'm gonna need her on the team!

[KRABS] 'Cause you're just a simple sponge

[SPONGEBOB, spoken] And Patrick too! He's super strong! We'll be the best team ever. Sandy's brains, plus Patrick's brawn, plus my...

[KRABS] Yes, a very simple sponge

[SPONGEBOB, spoken] I'm not sure what my thing is, but that won't stop me! When the going gets tough, this sponge gets going! (sung) No, I'm not a simple sponge

[COMPANY] Let me have adventure, be a contender and more

[SPONGEBOB] I am not a simple sponge

[COMPANY] They will see you're not just the sponge next door

[SPONGEBOB & COMPANY] 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!
