"The Very First Christmas" is a Christmas song sung by SpongeBob, Patrick, and other Bikini Bottomites in the episode "Christmas Who?"

Lyrics[]

SpongeBob and Patrick: It's shaping up to be a wonderful holiday
Not your normal, average every day
Squidward: Sounds like someone felled my old coral tree
SpongeBob, Patrick, why'd you do this to me?
SpongeBob and Patrick: The world feels like it's in loverly
Squidward: Go away before I harm you bodily!
SpongeBob and Patrick: This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to me
There'll be shopping, decorating, and plenty of snow
Chorus: (Plenty of snow)
SpongeBob: Hey, Patrick, who's that under the mistletoe?
Chorus: (The mistletoe?)
Squidward: What? Who, me? Would you look at the time, I should go!
Plankton: People seem a little more brotherly
Chorus: (Brotherly)
Mr. Krabs: Here's a special somethin' to you from me
Chorus: (To you from me)
SpongeBob and Patrick: Even all the trash on Christmas, it smells so sweetly
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob and Patrick: This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to me
SpongeBob: Nyadadadadadadada! Dadadadadadadada! Ladadadadadadada! Dadadadadadada!
Squidward: What do you want? Can't you see that I'm busy?
SpongeBob and Patrick: Step outside, we've got somethin' for you to see
Squidward: SpongeBob, take this stuff down immediately!
SpongeBob and Patrick: Chestnuts roasting and burns in the third degree
All (except Squidward): Tonight things are as good as they seem to be!
Patrick: A star on top will complete all the scenery!
All (except Squidward): This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to me!
Mr. Krabs: [falsetto] -Very first Christmas to me! (laughing)
All (except Squidward): This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to me!
Mr. Krabs: [falsetto] -Very first Christmas to me!

Trivia[]

General[]

  • Mr. Krabs' falsetto voice was done by Dee Bradley Baker, as Clancy Brown could not hit that high note.
  • Despite Squidward being very against of the idea of Christmas, he still sings five lines of the song.
    • His voice is also heard singing the final line of the song, yet Squidward himself is not seen singing.
  • Even though Patrick volunteers to be the star on top of their Christmas tree, he is no longer on top of the tree after the song.
  • In the Tagalog dub, the original audio is replaced with the Tagalog voice actors redubbing the song into English.[1]
  • In the Italian dub, this song is left untranslated.

Cultural references[]

  • The tune from some parts of the song (There'll be shopping, decorating, and plenty of snow...) appears to be similar to the Christmas song, "Winter Wonderland." (In the meadow we can build a snowman...)
