Dear Friend - SpongeBob Wiki

"Dear Friend" is an opera aria written by Aaron Springer, sung by SpongeBob as his plan to rescue Patrick from his brainwashing state by Squidward and persuade him to become his friend again during the climax of the episode "Squidward's School for Grown-Ups."

Lyrics

SpongeBob: Dear friend, don't say that it's all over!

As long as I breathe, I will cherish our bond!

Squidward: Terrible!

SpongeBob: Dear friend, don't say that it's all over!

My heart bounces on rocks!

Jagged and gray!

Dear friend, don't say that it's all over!

Let's stay pals!

What do you say?

Trivia

- SpongeBob's singing voice was provided by Teresa Parente. In the previous three, it was respectively done by Peter Strauss and David Glen Eisley.
