When the Going Gets Tough (Broadway Version + Rap) Lyrics by Original Cast of SpongeBob SquarePants, The New Musical

0

[PLANKTON]
This task force is for losers
I've  got the perfect plan
Right  now, the getting's good
So let's get out while we can!
Look, lava's pretty hot
Let's  give in to our fear
Disaster's  on its way
That means we can't spend no more time in here!
You  all know who I am
Evil genius, giant brain
You can't stop a volcano, I mean-
Are you all INSANE?
The  ones who stay will all be vaporized, without a doubt
Before that sucker blows, we gotta get the fish out!
[ENSEMBLE]
FISH OUT!
FISH OUT!
FISH OUT!
[PLANKTON]
So let's go, and be gone
So let's go, and be gone
So, leggo, and be gone
So, leggo, and WE GONE!
Cause when the going gets tough
(When the going gets tough)
That means it's time to get lost
(That means it's time to get lost)
When the going gets tough
(When the going gets tough)
That means it's time to get lost
(That means it's time to get lost)
So leggo, and we gone, let's be gone!
[SPONGEBOB]
HOLD ON, PLANKTON!
I am simply shocked!
Bikini Bottom is our HOME
I can't believe you talk about just walking out!
Let's figure out a way to stay, today, tomorrow!
I feel sorrow, I feel fear
But I am NOT leaving here!
Who's with me?
[PLANKTON]
OH! The simple sponge is talking!
Fascinating! Do go on...
The frycook has a plan- good luck with that
Cause I'll be gone!
You don't just wait around when you're under attack, no
You-
[PLANKTON, KAREN, & ENSEMBLE]
Run like crazy, out the back!
You've got one day left
Better go home and pack!
[PLANKTON]
Cause when the going gets tough
(When the going gets tough)
That means it's time to get lost
(That means it's time to get lost)
When the going gets tough
(When the going gets tough)
That means it's time to get lost
(That means it's time to get lost)
So leggo, and be gone, let's be gone!
[KRABS, spoken]
Hold on, tiny dancer! I wasn't hatched yesterday!
This sounds like another one of your schemes!
[PLANKTON, spoken]
Wh-! At a time like this, how could you THINK such a thing?!
[KRABS, spoken]
You've got something up your sleeve...
[PLANKTON, spoken]
I'm a one-celled organism... I don't even have sleeves!
[KAREN & ENSEMBLE, spoken]
OHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
[PLANKTON, spoken]
Watch this, Karen!
Break it down, now!
[PLANKTON, speed-rapping]
Coming up as one of many
Mom and Dad had plenty more of me
And 20/20 vision? Never had it!
Had to be a devastating, conversating, luminous communicator
Hoping later every hater of this tiny, little, nerdy me would pay
You've never heard of me? Okay-
A GIANT!
I don't give it up, I live it up!
Floating in the saline
Running from the balene
A celebrated single cell of cilliated, cerebellic genius!
HA. HA. HA
[ENSEMBLE]
So leggo (so leggo)
And be gone (and be gone)
So leggo
[PLANKTON & KAREN}
Woooooaaaahhhhhh!!
[PLANKTON]
Woooaaahh!
[PLANKTON, KAREN, & ENSEMBLE]
AND WE GONE!
Cause when the going gets tough
(When the going gets tough)
That means it's time to get lost
(That means it's time to get lost)
When the going gets tough
(When the going gets tough)
That means it's time to get lost
(That means it's time to get lost)
[MAYOR]
We may just survive this chaos
[PLANKTON, KAREN, & ENSEMBLE]
SURRENDER!
And be gone!
Let's be gone!
Let's be gone!
SO LEGGO!
