Hi hello I did the math finding syllables per second for the rap at 2:56 and Guns and Ships, and Plankton actually rapped faster. In 14 seconds, Plankton rapped 121 syllables, which averaged to about 8.64 sps. In the equivalent of 22 seconds (without all the interruptions) Lafayette rapped 172 syllables, which averaged to about 7.82 sps. In 14 seconds of Guns and Ships, 118 syllables were rapped, averaging to about 8.43 sps. Also, in the first 3 seconds, Plankton rapped 20 words. And as far as I'm aware, Wesley has gotten nada

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!

Thank you for including the mayor's part at the end, no one ever does and I've been trying to figure out what she says

[@denverose88]

I’m in SpongeBob the musical as plankton so this helped so much!

[@neitomonomasbiggestfan]

The fact I got to zoom with the guy who plays Plankton just to find out he's not a silly single selled organism... /j

[@sheaaa6110]

one of the best songs in the musical by far

[@tiff0795]

Everyone talking about the rap and I love the sensory they did with "Gotta get the fish out."

[@mfnminerdz]

Now this is the version I want a lyric video for.

Random Person : What's your favourite hip-hop song? Me: It's... it's sung by a celebrated single cell of ciliated, cerebellic genius.

Is it funny that while plankton say "get lost" on my tv spongebob runs away! :D

[@willow_colours1396]

Me and my friend Elizabeth both learnt this because we both believed with our hearts that the show we were gonna do was Spongebob. It ended up being The Addams Family 😅😅

[@Last-Scar-5675]

The best musical ever🤩
