[Intro: Rick James & James Brown]
Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya (Ladies and gentlemen, ladies, ladies and gentlemen)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You’ve been puttin’ up with these squids for way too long
I’m so gifted at finding what I don’t like the most
So I think it’s time for the squids to have a toast

[Chorus]
Let’s have a toast for the SpongeBobs
Let’s have a toast for the Patricks
Let’s have a toast for the Marys
And especially the Sandys
Let’s have a toast for Mr. Krabs
Even though he never shares his cash
Baby, I got a plan
Swim away as fast as you can

[Verse 1]
I sent pictures in my sеa mail
I sent this fish a picture of my nose
I don’t know what it is ‘bout squirrеls
But I’m not too good with them hoes
See, I could find me a good fish
And still be addicted to the Pearl whale
And I just blame everything on you
Because you know that’s what I’m good at
[Pre-Chorus]
And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You’ve been puttin’ up with these squids for way too long
I’m so gifted at finding what I don’t like the most
So I think it’s time for the squids to have a toast

[Chorus]
Let’s have a toast for the SpongeBobs
Let’s have a toast for the Patricks
Let’s have a toast for the Marys
And especially the Sandys
Let’s have a toast for Mr. Krabs
Even though he never shares his cash
Baby, I got a plan
Swim away as fast as you can

[Bridge: Squidward Tentacles & Rick James]
Swim away from me, baby
Swim away
Swim away from me, baby (Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya)
Swim away
When it starts to get Squiddy (Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya)
Won’t you just swim away?
Baby, I got a plan, swim away as fast as you can
Swim away from me, baby
Swim away
Swim away from me, baby (Look at, look at, look at, look at, look at, look at ya)
Swim away
When it starts to get Squiddy (Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya)
So won’t you just swim away?
Baby, I got a plan
Swim away as fast as you can (Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya)
[Verse 2]
Twenty-four-seven, three-sixty-five, Sandy stays on my mind
I-I-I-I did it, alright, alright, I admit it
Just serve me the Patties and we could be done with it
You can get payed from playing the clarinet
Just don’t go hang at The Chum Bucket
Knock it off, come and shop it off
We’re talking ‘bout Squilliam, waiter, top it off
The albums not over, I’m here for Freddyloafers
You can’t blame ‘em, they ain’t never seen some squiddy sofas
Every song, every album, every playlist
Yeah, you know that’ll have Squiddy on it
You should leave if you can't accept the basics
Pretty squirrels in a young Squidward’s play smith
Invisibility set, the jellyfish is faceless
I’m just young, squiddy, tasteless, see

[Verse 3]
Never was much of a romantic
I could never take the intimacy
And I know I did damage
But the Squiddys are killing me
I guess you must’ve knew the Patties
‘Cause you wet, Chum Bucket
And I don’t know how I’ma manage
If one day I lose Sandy Cheeks
[Pre-Chorus]
And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You’ve been puttin’ up with these squids for way too long
I’m so gifted at finding what I don’t like the most
So I think it’s time for the squids to have a toast

[Chorus]
Let’s have a toast for the SpongeBobs
Let’s have a toast for the Patricks
Let’s have a toast for the Marys
And especially the Sandys
Let’s have a toast for Mr. Krabs
Even though he never shares his cash
Baby, I got a plan
Swim away as fast as you can
