Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna teach you how to do the sponge
Well, if you take your leg and you stick it in the air
And then you take the other one and jam it right up there
You twist yourself around and give a great big lunge
Now you're doin' the sponge
Beat your buns you're doin' the sponge
Well, now, first you take your leg and you stick it in the air
And then you take the other one and you jam it right up there
You twist yourself around and you give a great big lunge
Now you're doin', yeah, now you're doin' the sponge
Alright, now yeah, uh, do the sponge, sponge, uh do the sponge
Beat buns when you're taking the plunge
Ah, take the sponge, sponge, uh do the sponge
Beat your buns you're doin' the sponge
Yeah, I bet your buns, you're doin' the sponge
