Mr Krabs: Are you ready?!

SpongeBob: Iiiiiii’m READY! I’m ready!…

Mr Krabs: Arr, lad! Are you ready?!

SpongeBob: …I’m ready! I’m ready! (laughs)


Verse 1:

All right, stop what you’re doin’, cause I’m about to ruin

The animated style that you’re used to.

I’m shaped funny… (*SB: laugh*) But yo, soon everybody’ll see,

The whole world that’s down way under the sea.

Now you all oughta, watch with your son or daughter,

All my nautical nonsense in the underwater. (**)

I’ll eat up all the jellyfish jam you got on your shelf, (*?*)

So just let me introduce myself.

My name is SpongeBob, pronounced with an ‘-OngeBob’.

Flipping burgers sure really is a fun job,

And all the Krabby Patties I make,

are for the twelve-thirty lunch mob.

I got your order up! (*sfx: ding!*) Here in Bikini Bottom,

You want the best meal? The Krusty Krab’s got ‘em!

Bun, patty, lettuce, cheese, onions’ sweet odor,

Tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, pickles, bun, in that order!

I’m ready, see! (gasp!) Look, Plankton’s back! (*Pl: Ha ha!*)

And he wants the secret recipe,

But that’s some info that he’ll never get from me!

Plankton: C’Mon SpongeBob! Those buns, are they sesame?

Mr. Krabs: Arr, that’s enough of that! (*sfx: toink! Pl: Aaah!*) Now listen up, Spongey,

You swab the deck, while I count up all me money!

When I clean, (*sfx: cleaning) I spin around and go boom.

I once got dizzy in the Krusty Krab bathroom!

I’m crazy, (**) but Squidward here will save me!

Squidward: Take your spatula and kindly go away please!

The employee of the month is my stance,

And I even got my own dance!




Chorus 1:

(Lead vocals by SpongeBob, Main background vocals sung in unison by Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Squidward, & Plankton, with their individual lines shown:)


SpongeBob SquarePants, here’s your chance, to do the Sponge!


Patrick: Oh, SpongeBob SquarePants!

SpongeBob: C’Mon! Uh! Do the Spongey Sponge, come on and do the Spongey Sponge!

A-Do the Spongey Sponge, a-do the Spongey Sponge!


Mr. Krabs: Oh oh, SpongeBob SquarePants!

SpongeBob: Check it out, y’all! Do the Spongey Sponge, just watch me do the Spongey Sponge!

A-Do the Spongey Sponge, a-do the Spongey Sponge!


Squidward: Oh, oh, oh oh oh, SpongeBob SquarePants!

SpongeBob: Yeah, do you know what I’m doin? Doin’ the Spongey Sponge!

A-Do the Spongey Sponge, a-do the Spongey Sponge!


Plankton: Oh, oh oh, SpongeBob SquarePants!

SpongeBob: C’mon! Do the Spongey Sponge, ha!

A-Do the Spongey Sponge, a-do the Spongey Sponge!


Verse 2:

Patrick says, (Patrick:) Yo SpongeBob, uhh, let’s do some jellyfishin’!

Starfish as dumb as the rock that he lives in.

We’ll laugh and prance, because we’re best buds,

And we’re happy, until a jellyfish zaps me! (*sfx: jf zap*)

And now our plan, see, is to visit Sandy

In her bubble dome land tree. (*SC: Howdy SB!*)

With this squirrel girl, adventure’s nothing to fear,

But if you ever mess with Texas, she just might kick your rear! (*SC: punch*)

And then there’s Squidward, (*Sq: A-Heeehh*) quite grumpy I’m afraid.

His Easter Island head is where his clarinet’s played.

He’ll tirade ‘til his eighties, but hey, I don’t care!

Both how I’m livin’ and my pants are square!

I get scary! (*SB: ooh*) Hang with a lobster named Larry.

I give a bath to my pet snail (*sfx: Meow!*) called Gary.

I hang at the Goo Lagoon, surf sand particles,

And when I crash, shout, “Ah, tartar-sauce barnacles!”

I go to school so I can learn to drive, (*sfx: SB driving w/ Mrs Puff*)

Mrs. Puff after each class says she’s happy to be alive.

So if you’re down with the absorbent and the yellow and porous,

Then join along and sing the chorus!








Chorus 2:

(Lead vocals by SpongeBob, Main background vocals sung in unison by Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Squidward, & Plankton, with their individual lines shown:)

Breakdown:

Mr. Krabs: Arr, that be the break, y’all. Mr. Squidward! Let me hear a little bit of that bass groove right here!

Squidward: A-doo-reer, doo-ree. A-doo-reer, doo-ree.

Mr. Krabs: Ag ag ag ag ag ag!

Patrick: Hey SpongeBob, uhh, now that you’ve told us a little bit about yourself, uhh, why don’t you tell us a little bit about this dance?

SpongeBob: Well it’s really easy to do Patrick. Check it out!


Verse 3:

First I go like this, spin around and then stop, man!

Double take three times, pelvic thrust and then stomp, and

(*sfx: rip*) Rip my pants cause it’s funny! (laugh)

Squidward says (Squidward:) You like like a brillo pad gone mad, dummy!

That’s all right, cause I’m rockin’ this ocean.

Bring it around town, always causin’ a commotion!

Bubble blowing’s quite the same. (*sfx: bubbles*)

This is my technique, SquarePants is my name!

No two fishes will do it the same,

Just have some F-U-N, and forget about your brain!

Rockin’, (*SC: Hi-Yah!*) Karate Choppin’, (*sfx: hooked noise*)

Now you’re hooked, to the bottom you’ll drop!

So if you got your air helmet, then come on and take the plunge,

You just step off, (*sfx: splash*) you’re doin’ the Sponge!

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
