SpongeBob SquarePants Theme
The Pirates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you ready kids?
I said, "Are you ready?"

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
(SpongeBob SquarePants)
Absorbent and yellow and porous is he
(SpongeBob SquarePants)
If nautical nonsense be something you wish
(SpongeBob SquarePants)
Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish
(SpongeBob SquarePants)

Overall Meaning

The Pirates's song Spongebob Squarepants Theme has been the opening song for the popular animated television series, SpongeBob SquarePants since it began airing in 1999. The lyrics are primarily about the show's protagonist, SpongeBob SquarePants, who lives in a pineapple under the sea. The song's catchy upbeat melody and fun lyrics became widely popular, and it has become a defining aspect of the show.


The first two lines of the song, "Are you ready kids? I said, "Are you ready?" act as the introduction to the song and signify that the show is about to begin. The next set of lines, "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? (SpongeBob SquarePants) Absorbent and yellow and porous is he (SpongeBob SquarePants)" introduce the character of SpongeBob to the audience. The line "Absorbent and yellow and porous is he" describes SpongeBob's physical appearance, and his pineapple house under the sea is a nod to the show's marine setting.


The final set of lyrics, "If nautical nonsense be something you wish (SpongeBob SquarePants) Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish (SpongeBob SquarePants)" reflects the show's carefree and non-conventional tone. The lyrics encourage viewers to embrace their silliness, and the line "flop like a fish" is symbolic of SpongeBob's cheerful and playful spirit.
