GHead in the bubbles and my feet on the ground
CBut there is more to me than just my name
GGive me a chance and I could change the game
CAnd maybe one day Mr. Krabs will say
G"The Krusty Krab's yours, it's your lucky day"
CThat is what I've always wanted,
GThen I can finally say I've done itC  
CLet me have adventure
CBe a contender and Gmore ('Cause you're not a simple sponge)
CI wish he'd see I'm not just the sponge next Gdoor (No, you're not a simple sponge)

[Intro]

[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 will say

"The Krusty Krab's yours, it's your lucky day"

That is what I've always wanted,

Let me have adventure

C G

But how can I stop the end of the world?

Am I just a simple sponge?

So what if I'm a sponge? It's what I wanna be
