Overall Meaning

The lyrics are the opening lines to the theme song of Spongebob Squarepants, a popular animated TV show. The lyrics reflect the enthusiastic tone and playful nature of the show. "¿Están listos?" (Are you ready?) is a rhetorical question that is asked by the character Captain, who is introducing the show. The response "Sí, Capitán estamos listos" (Yes, captain, we are ready) is given by a group of voices, reflecting a sense of excitement and readiness. The second time Captain asks the question, the response is the same, but he adds "No los escucho" (I can't hear you), which adds a humorous twist to the first part of the song.

The following lines introduce the character of Spongebob Squarepants, describing him as living in a pineapple under the sea, and having a body that can absorb without bursting. The lyrics go on to describe him as the best friend anyone could have, and as someone who can easily float like a fish. The repetition of the name "Bob Esponja" and the emphasis on his characteristics make for a catchy and memorable tune that captures the essence of the show.
