[Squidward, SpongeBob, Sandy, and Mr. Crabbs are all standing in the store]
[Squid talks to MrC]

Squid:
Alright listen up
With a little work
You could sound like Flounderatti
And the best sounding fish
Will win a...

[Squid falters, Sandy picks up patti]

Sandy:
A Crabby Patti!
If y'all don't mind
There's a contest for eats
And we'll hold it right here

SBob:
At Mr. Crab's!

[Plankton comes in to see what's going on]

MrC:
Where the food ain't got no grease! [wink]

[SBob walks with a patti on a red velet pillow, admiring it]

SBob:
Hi Plankton!

Plank:
Hi SpongeBob
What's the hurry?
Why the scurry?
Why the patti?

[Flounderatti walks up]

Both: Flounderatti?

Flound:
Did you hear? There's a contest in town!

[Pearl, far away, can hear Flounderatti's booming voice, so she calls a friend]

Sera:
Hi Pearly!

Pearl:
Hi Sera!
Daddy's store
Yes, I'm sure
Gonna sing!
Or something...

Sera:
OHMYGOSH there's a concert in town!

[Squidward is trying to play his clarinet, but is always interrupted]

Chorus:
Is there really a jam?

Squid:
Yes.

Chorus:
Can we participate?

Squid:
Sure.

Chorus:
Should we go there right now?

Squid:
Why not?

Chorus:
Or is it too late?

Squid:
NO.

[The fish start walking towards Mr.C's]

Chorus:
Yeah there's really a jam
For you and the rest
So tuna your fish
And give it your best!

[They pass by Plankton, who goes to Patrick's]

Plank:
Hello starfish Patrick
I'd love to win that patti
Won't you let me sing with you?

Patrick:
Is there really a jam?

Plank:
Yeah, there is!

Patrick:
I could clean up that prize!

Plank:
That's uh, why I asked!

Patrick:
Hey, could you watch my house?

Plank:
But I meant...

Patrick:
See you later!

[Patrick closes "door" on Plank]

Chorus:
Gettin ready!
etc

[Squid is out of tune]

Squid:
Hit your note
In your key

Plank:
That's too high!

Gary:
Meow meow meow!

[Plankton sees Gary suceeding, and tosses him away]

Plank:
Hello my friend, Squidward!
I'd love to win that patti
Won't you let me sing with you?

[Squid flicks Plankton away]

Squid:
They don't know talent!
Not like I do!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[Music gets soft and etherial, the chorus singing in the high ranges]
[Sbob stands in spotlight, staring at the microphone in his hands]

Sbob: Chorus:
I'll be up on the stage! Bikini Bottom
Just me and the mike Playing music

[Squid shuts light off and cuts in]

Squid:
When Sponge starts to sing
I'll outshine him like-

[Plankton tears down black backround like a curtain, where the chorus is standing with their music books etc]

Plank:
Hello melodic chorus
I'd love to win that patti
Please just let me sing with you...

[Music stops, they all walk away grumbling, Plank turns to camera]

Plank: Well, this stinks.

[Music starts again]
[Sandy is at a sign-up desk at Mr.C's, chattering fish surrounding her]

Sandy:
But you got it all wrong!
Please, just one at a time!
If this concert's too big
I'll go out of my mind!

[The lines crowd her]

Chorus:
When you gotta sing, really gotta sing!

[Larry is weightlifting and dancing at the same time]

Larry:
When the music plays,
When my shell a-sway's
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do?

Chorus:
Normal Xena end, but "tune your citars" is replaced by "tuna your fish"
