[Verse: Plankton, Mr. Krabs and Squidward]
A formula is something like a recipe
A recipe is something like a plan
With elements and measurements all mixed together by a steady hand
But be careful you must be, or you’ll be sad
You see if somehow in the mix, it has no soul
So what's the one ingredient that turns this awesome sauce to liquid gold
I'll tell ya

[Chorus: Cast]
The secret to the formula is you, you. You, you!
The honey in my tea you know is you, you. You, you!
The bubbles in the boil, the one essential oil, it's true
The secret to the formula is you, you. (SpongeBob!) You, you!
The secret to the formula is you, you. (SpongeBob!) You, you!
The secret to the formula is you, you. You, you!

[Bridge: Sandy Cheeks]
What in the wide watery world would it be like without you?

[Chorus: Cast]
The secret to the formula is you, you. You, you!
The honey my tea you know is you, you. You, you!
The bubbles in the boil, the one essential oil, it's true
The secret to the formula is you, you. (SpongeBob!) You, you!
The secret to the formula is you, you. (SpongeBob!) You, you!
The secret to the formula is you, you. You, you!
