Original Cast of SpongeBob SquarePants, The New Musical
(Just a) Simple Sponge
[Verse 1: 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
Then I can finally say I've done it

[Chorus: SpongeBob, Company]
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 got to 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 spo...oo...onge!)
(No, you're not a simple sponge!!!)

[Verse 2: 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 jelly-fisher who's a trusted friend
I can— eat a lot of ice cream
I can even play my nose like...
*flute melodic tune*
[Chorus: SpongeBob, Company]
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—)

[Bridge 1: SpongeBob with Company]
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...-)
No!

[Chorus: SpongeBob, Company, Both, Mr. Krabs]
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 the life I love
And I am gonna stop
The end of the— No!
[Bridge 2: SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs]
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!

[Ending: SpongeBob with Company]
No I'm not a simple sponge!!!
(Let me have adventure, be a contender and more)
I am not a simple sponge!!!
(They will see you're 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!!!
