SpongeBob: Take a penny and some magic

Even though your life is tragic

(Squidward: Hey!)

You can throw all your dreams down the well

Although every day the pain grows

You'll ride unicorns on rainbows

If you throw all your dreams down the well

When your life's come apart at the seams

And you've given up all your dreams

Here is just the means to make those dreams come true

No more sufferin', no more sighin'

(Squidward: Ow!

No more pain and no more cryin'

(Squidward: I'm not cryin'! Ow. Ow.)

When you throw all your dreams down the well

Just throw all your dreams down the well

Oh, the magic has gone missin'

And everyone's still wishin'

But their dreams have fallen flat upon the ground

You'll find magic under rubble

So, Patrick, grab a shovel!

And here is where the magic can be found

We're at the bottom of a well

But man, won't it be swell

When we make everyone's wishes all come true?
