== Lyrics ==
: Plankton: Give me some music, Karen!
: Karen: (beep-boxes)
: Plankton: This task force is for losers
: I've got the perfect plan
: Right now the getting's good
: So let's get out while we can
: Look, lava's pretty hot
: Let's give in to our fear
: Disaster's on its way
: That means we can't spend no more time in here
: You all know who I am
: Evil genius, giant brain
: You can't stop a volcano
: I mean are you all insane?
: The ones who stay will all be vaporized without a doubt
: Plankton and Karen: Before that sucker blows
: We gotta get the fish out
: Fish out, fish out, fish out
: Plankton and Men: Oh leggo
: And begone
: Oh leggo
: And begone
: Oh leggo
: And begone
: Oh leggo
: And we gone
: 'Cause when the going gets tough
: That means it's time to get lost
: 'Cause when the going gets tough
: That means it's time to get lost
: So leggo, and begone

: SpongeBob: Hold on, Plankton!
: I am simply shocked
: Bikini Bottom is our home
: I can't believe you talk about
: Just walking out, let's figure out
: A way to stay, today, tomorrow
: I feel sorrow, I feel fear
: But I'm not leaving here
: Who's with me?
: Plankton: The simple sponge is talking
: Fascinating, do go on
: The fry cook has a plan
: Good luck with that 'cause I'll be gone
