The very first Christmas to me
Spongebob Squarepants Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Spongebob and Patrick:]
It's shaping up to be a wonderful holiday
Not your normal, average, everyday

[Squidward:]
Sounds like someone fell my old coral tree
Spongebob, Patrick, why'd you do this to me?

[Spongebob and Patrick:]
The world feels like it's in loverly

Squidward:
Go away before I harm you bodily

Spongebob and Patrick:
This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to me

[Spongebob and Patrick:]
There'll be shopping, decorating, and plenty of snow

[Spongebob:]
Hey Patrick, who's that under the mistletoe?

[Squidward:]
What? Who me? Would you look at the time
I should go!

[Plankton:]
People seem a little more brotherly

[Mr. Krabbs:]
Here's a special something to you from me

[Spongebob and Patrick:]
Even the trash on Christmas smells sweetly
This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to me

[Squidward:]
What do you want, can't you see that I'm busy?

[Spongebob and Patrick:]
Step outside, we've got something for you to see

[Squidward:]
Spongebob, take this stuff down immediately

[Spongebob:]
Chestnuts roasting and burns in the third degree

[Bikini Bottom Residents:]
Tonight things are as good as they seem to be

[Patrick:]
A star on top will complete all the scenery

[Bikini Bottom Residents:]

This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to me
This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to me

Overall Meaning

The song "The Very First Christmas" by SpongeBob SquarePants is a catchy tune that doesn't only touch on the traditional festivities that occur during the holiday season, but also the feeling of brotherly love and the positive impact it has on our surroundings. The lyrics sung by SpongeBob and Patrick convey the joy and excitement of preparing for Christmas festivities, from shopping to decorating and the anticipation of snow. Squidward, however, is not so thrilled about what has happened to his old coral tree and is therefore reluctant to partake in the festivities.

Despite Squidward's sour attitude, even he cannot ignore the warm and fuzzy vibes circulating throughout Bikini Bottom. He soon admits that people are acting a little more brotherly and is gifted a special something by Mr. Krabbs. The song then ends with everyone coming together and admiring the efforts they've made to decorate the town, singing that this Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to them.

Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of sharing and spreading joy during the holiday season. The lyrics sung by the different characters allude to the idea that even the most unenthusiastic people can be impacted by the positive energy of others.
