Squidward's song

"Squidward's song" is a song sung by Squidward in the episode "Atlantis SquarePantis." Squidward sings this song when he finds the art room in Atlantis.

Lyrics

Squidward: Isn't this great?

Isn't this neat?

I'm a living work of art

From my head to my feet

From the very first drawings on walls in caves

Art has been what the heart and soul craves

So pick up a brush, a pencil, or pen

If you don't like this one paint it again

From now on, please call me Sir Real

I can wait for your impression to congeal

Take it from an undersea Renaissance man

I'd even look great on the side of your van

Anyway you cut it, I am art and art is me

Ask your mama or your dada

To tell you about the uh, schism

Between minimalism and cubism

My personality may be the cynical type

But I finally found something that lives up to the hype

I can say honestly and with great certainty

That Atlantis is where I want to spend eternity
