Ripped Pants Lyrics

[Intro: SpongeBob SquarePants]I thought that I had everybody on my sideBut I went and blew it all sky highAnd now she won't even spare a passing glanceAll just because I ripped my pants[Chorus: The Losers of the Beach]When big Larry came 'round just to put him downSpongeBob turned into a clownAnd no girl ever wants to danceWith a fool who went and ripped his pants[Verse: The Losers of the Beach]I know I shouldn't mope around, I shouldn't curseBut the pain feels so much worse'Cause windin' up with no one is a lot less funThan a burn from the sun, or sand in your buns[Outro: SpongeBob SquarePants & The Losers of the Beach](Fool-)Now I learned a lesson I won't soon forget (-who ripped his pants)So listen and you won't regret(Fool-)Be true to yourself, don't miss your chance (-who ripped his pants)And you won't end up like the fool who ripped his pantsYou might also like6EmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don't understand a lyric, use [?]

AboutThis song bio is unreviewedSong Bio3 contributors

This song is from Season 1, Episode 2b “Ripped Pants”.

It was the first song in the show sung by a character. This is also the first episode with Larry the Lobster and Spongebob’s spot-on impersonation of Squidward.

This song’s message is simply this: Don’t try to be something you’re not.

If you try to be something you’re not to try to fit in, most of the time it leads to you doing foolish things, in this case, Spongebob tries to fit in and make everyone laugh by ripping his pants. But later everybody finds it’s annoying and Spongebob loses his popularity. In a desperate attempt to impress his peers, Spongebob fakes drowning himself, garnering him even more hate. Rather than being something you aren’t, just be yourself.
