Just a Kid - SpongeBob Wiki

"Just a Kid" is a song performed by the rock band Wilco. The song reflects on SpongeBob's personality of being a kid-like adult, as seen earlier in the film, when Mr. Krabs doesn't promote him to manager of the Krusty Krab 2. It is the third track from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie soundtrack and is also the third song in the credits of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. An instrumental riff of this song is played and looped on the main menu of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie DVD and Blu-ray.

Lyrics

Wilco: Maybe I'm just a kid

Maybe I just don't fit in

I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

I'm ready to go now

I don't wanna go to school

But I don't get to make the rules

Too early, too early, too early

Too early in the morning

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody

Has to do something they don't want to do

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody

Has to do something, oh why is that true?

Maybe I'm not so big

Maybe I just don't fit in

I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

I'm ready for more now

And I don't wanna go to bed

There's so much going on my head

Not tired, not tired, not tired

Not tired right now

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody

Has to do something they don't want to do

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody

Has to do something, oh why is that true?

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody

Has to do something

Let's have some fun!

(Na na na nana, nanananana nana

Na na na nana, nanananana nana

Na na na nana, nanananana nana)

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody

Everybody, everyone, somebody, anyone

Has to grow up

Let's have some fun!
