(Just A) Simple Sponge) by Ethan Slater as SpongeBob SquarePants from The SpongeBob Musical Live On Stage A Television Event
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, you'll say ? [imitating Mr. Krabs’s voice] ? "The Krusty Krab's yours, it's your lucky day!" ? [back to his normal voice] ? That is what I've always wanted, then I can finally say I've done it! Let me have adventure, be a contender and more! ?
Sponges: [start appearing in SpongeBob’s background] ? ‘Cause you're not a simple sponge! ?
SpongeBob: ? I wish he'd see I'm not just the sponge-next-door! ?
Sponges: ? No, you're not a simple sponge! ? [slowly form into a square]
SpongeBob: ? 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? ?
Sponges: ? No, you're not a simple sponge, no, you’re not a simple sponge! ? [disperse and reform at both sides of SpongeBob]
SpongeBob: ? So what if I'm a sponge? It's what I want to be! [sponges form an extension of SpongeBob’s arms] ? There isn't anyone who stretches like me! Employee of the month, two years in a row [sponges form wood planks just like in a karate dojo] ? Undisputed master of my own dojo! ? [kicks on the wood planks] ? And everyone here knows that they can depend on this expert jellyfisher who's a trusted friend; I can eat a lot of ice cream, I can even play my nose like… ? [plays a few notes like a flute while sponges form musical notes] ? Let me have adventure, be a contender and more! ?
Sponges: ? ‘Cause you're not a simple sponge! ?
SpongeBob: ? Can't they see I'm not just the sponge-next-door? ?
Sponges: [form candlelights behind SpongeBob] ? No, you're not a simple… ?
SpongeBob: ? I wish that I could turn back time; I never thought my world could end, I only wanna hang out with my friends! [sponges form a snail on his left side and a star on his right] ? But fear, I fear, is dragging us down... ? [sponges disperse]
SpongeBob and Sponges: ? And now there's panic that's run amok -- ?
SpongeBob: ? In my simple town ?
Sponges: ? No! No! No! No! ? [form a cape behind SpongeBob]
SpongeBob: ? No! Just give me adventure, I'm a contender and more! ?
Sponges: ? ‘Cause you're not a simple sponge! ?
SpongeBob: ? I will show I'm not just the sponge-next door! ?
Sponges: [some form a smiley face beside SpongeBob] ? No, you're not a simple sponge! ?
SpongeBob: ? I'm gonna find a better way, a way to save the life I love! [sponges enclose him in a box] And I am gonna stop the end of the... ?
Mr. Krabs: [appears in the background, while standing on the elevated platform] ? No! You're just a simple sponge... ?
SpongeBob: [sponges slowly remove him from enclosure] I'll find a way to stop that volcano, Mr. Krabs. We can use Sandy's jetpack to get to the top. Wait... pretty sure it's only built for one.
Mr. Krabs: ? See? You are a simple sponge... ?
SpongeBob: We'll have to climb it, then. With Patrick's brawn, and Sandy's brains, and my --
Mr. Krabs: ? Yes! A very simple sponge! ?
SpongeBob: I'm not sure what I bring to the table, but that won't stop me. When the going gets tough, this sponge gets going! ? No, I'm not a simple... ? [sponges form rays of light around him] ? sponge! I am not a simple sponge!
Sponges: ? Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! ?
SpongeBob: ? Now at last, I have found a way, a way to save this town I love! [sponges organize themselves neatly behind him] ? I am not a simple sponge.. ?
