Lyrics[]
SpongeBob: I thought that I had everybody on my side
But I went and blew it all sky high;
And now, she won't even spare a passing glance
All just because I [rips underwear] ripped my pants!
Loser 1, Loser 2, and Loser 3:When Big Larry came 'round just to put him down
SpongeBob turned into a clown
And no girl ever wants to dance
With a fool who went and [rips pants] ripped his pants!
SpongeBob:I know I shouldn't mope around; I shouldn't curse
But the pain feels so much worse
Cause windin' up with no one is a lot less fun
Than a burn from the sun
Loser 1 and Loser 2:...Or sand in your buns!
SpongeBob:Now I learned a lesson I won't soon forget
So listen, and you won't regret
"Be true to yourself; don't miss your chance
And you won't end up like the...
Everyone:...fool who ripped his pants!"

In certain dubs of this song, SpongeBob performs using his normal voice.
This song can be heard in the toy Swap-N-Bop SpongeBob depending on which hat is placed on it.
