Who Wants To Race Me?
Spongebob Squarepants Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who wants to race me?
You got a lotta gumption if you do
Pick up the pace, you'll only chase me
The best you're gonna do is number two

Who wants to race me?
Better men than you have tried and failed
Where's the fool gonna try 'n' ace me?
All o' me you're gonna see is my bushy tail
I'll take off like a shot leavin' you so far behind
And I'm savin' you a spot right here at the finish line

I got here faster than a greased pig with a rocket in high gear tied to its tails flying down an icy roller coaster track tryin' to get home for supper to its mama!

Who wants to race me?
I thought you was a snail 'cause you're so slow!
You won't see hide nor hair nor teeny-tiny trace o' me,
On your mark, get ready, get set, now go, man, go!
Yeehaw!

Who wants to race me?
Let's do one more lap on rare mid-go
You'll never win or sure replace me




On your mark, get ready, get set, now go, man, go!
On your mark, get ready, get set, now go, man, go!
