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 would 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*
'*Sponges:Cause you're not a simple sponge*
**SpongeBob:** *I wish he'd see I'm not just the sponge next door*
**Sponges:** *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?*
**Sponges:** *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 [flute trill]*
*Let me have adventure*
*Be a contender and more*
'*Sponges:Cause you're not a simple sponge*
**SpongeBob:** *Can't he see I'm not just the sponge next door?*
**Sponges:** *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*
**Everyone:** *And now there's panic that's run amok*
**SpongeBob:** *In my simple town*
**Sponges:** *No, no, no, no*
**SpongeBob:** *No!*
*Just give me adventure*
*Be a contender and more*
'*Sponges:Cause you're not a simple sponge*
**SpongeBob:** *I'm real sure I'm not just the sponge next door*
**Sponges:** *No, you're not a simple sponge*
**SpongeBob:** *I'm gonna find a better way*
*A way to save this life I love*
*And I am gonna stop the end of the—*
**Mr. Krabs:** *No!*
*You're just a simple sponge*
**SpongeBob:** *"You're wrong, Mr. Krabs. I'll find a way to stop that volcano from erupting."*
**Mr. Krabs:** *You are still a simple sponge*
**SpongeBob:** *"I'll use science, like Sandy said. I'm gonna need her on the team."*
'*Mr. Krabs:Cause you're just a simple sponge*
**SpongeBob:** *"And Patrick, too; he's super strong.*
*We'll be the best team ever! Sandy's brains, plus Patrick's brawn, plus my..."*
**Mr. Krabs:** *Yes, a very simple sponge*
**SpongeBob:** *"Well, I'm not sure what my thing is, but that won't stop me.*
*When the going gets tough, this sponge gets going!"*
*No, I'm not a simple sponge*
**Sponges:** *Let me have adventure*
*Be a contender and more*
**SpongeBob:** *I am not a simple sponge*
**Sponges:** *I'll make him see I'm not just the sponge next door*
**Everyone:** *Yeah, yeah, yeah*
**SpongeBob:** *Now at last, I have found a way*
*A way to save this town I love*
*I am not*
**Everyone:** *A simple sponge*
