Lyrics[]

[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]

[COMPANY]

A way to save this town I love
I am not a simple sponge!

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

[SPONGEBOB, spoken]
We can use her jetpack to get to the top of the mountain. Wait... pretty sure it's only built for one.

[KRABS, SQUIDWARD, & PLANKTON]
See?
You are a simple sponge

[SPONGEBOB]
We'll just have to climb it, then. Patrick can help with that. He's super strong! We'll be the best team ever. Sandy's brains, plus Patrick's brawn, plus my...
