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
('Cause you're not a simple sponge)
I wish he'd see I'm not just the sponge next door
(No, you're not a simple sponge)
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?
(No, you're not a simple sponge)
(No, you're not a simple sponge)
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
('Cause you're not a simple sponge)
Can't he see I'm not just the sponge next door?
(No, you're not a simple-)
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
And now there's panic that's run amok
In my simple town
(No, no, no, no)
No!
Just give me adventure
I'm a contender and more
('Cause you're not a simple sponge)
I will show I'm not just the sponge next door
(No, you're not a simple sponge)
I'm gonna find a better way
A way to save this life I love
And I am gonna stop the end of the-
(No! You're just a simple sponge)
You're wrong, Mr. Krabs
I'll find a way to stop that volcano from erupting
(You are still a simple sponge)
I'll use science, like Sandy said, I'm gonna need her on the team
('Cause you're just a simple sponge)
And Patrick, too, he's super strong
We'll be the best team ever!
Sandy's brains, plus Patrick's brawn, plus my-
(Yes, a very simple sponge)
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
(Let me have adventure, be a contender and more)
I am not a simple sponge
(Today we'll see I'm not just the sponge next door)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now at last, I have found a way
A way to save this town I love
I am not a simple sponge
