[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

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

[All]
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!

[Spongebob]
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

[All]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Spongebob]
Now at last, I have found a way
A way to save this town I love
I am not

[All]
A simple Sponge
