Sing a Song of Patrick

Sing a Song of Patrick is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season five.

Plot
Patrick and SpongeBob go to a comic book store, and Patrick sees an ad for a mail-in offer promising to record a song. He takes SpongeBob's comic book money to enter, and submits an entry called "I Wrote This" a song that doesn't make much sense to listenersr. The paper smells terrible when he submits it, and the band died from recording it. When the two listen to the song, it turns out to be so bad that it destroys SpongeBob's pineapple. Patrick had a flashback when he recited the poem: "Roses are blue. Violets are red. I have to go to the bathroom". The gym teacher told him that he had told him repeatedly that it was gym class, so he had the class throw dodgeballs at him. SpongeBob however enforces to Patrick that it's the greatest song ever, so he and Patrick try to get the song on the radio.

They are immediately kicked out by the radio station, so, finding a different method, they climb up the Radio Tower and use gum to stick a record player to the top of the antenna. The song is heard throughout the town, which causes rioting, breakups and head explosions, the town form an angry mob, headed by Fred. They chase SpongeBob and Patrick down and Patrick starts to sing the song in front of everyone until his old gym teacher arrives, saying that Patrick never learned his lesson, which leads to the two getting pelted by dodgeballs and the episode ends by the scene.

 * SpongeBob: Patrick, it's me!
 * Patrick: Sponge-- [burps and a piece of paper lands into SpongeBob's face]
 * SpongeBob: Ew, what's this?
 * Patrick: [takes the piece of paper] Well, whatever it is, it's mine! Unless I don't want it! [inspects the piece of paper and gasps] SpongeBob, what do all these words say?
 * SpongeBob: It's an ad. [talks in an announcer tone] Dear Comic Book Reader.
 * Patrick: That's me!
 * SpongeBob: [continues as announcer] Have you ever thought about turning one of your poems into a hit song on the radio?
 * Patrick: I never thought about anything!
 * SpongeBob: [continues] Send in your poem and $100 and we'll make it a hit! [uses regular tone of voice again] Can we go now? My arms are getting tired.
 * Patrick: I want to send in a poem, and everyone would love it, and I would be a star!
 * SpongeBob: You can't always trust ads in comic books, Patrick. Those X-Ray specs I ordered couldn't see through people's skin at all! [makes a disgusted face] Only their clothes! Plus, you don't have $100. [SpongeBob's wallet falls out of his and struggles to pick it up] Patrick, could you get my wallet? [Patrick picks up SpongeBob's wallet]
 * Patrick: Hey, look. [pulls out $100 bill from wallet] I just found $100! It's a sign that I should make my hit record.
 * SpongeBob: Hey, that's my comic book money!
 * Patrick: [indignant] It's a sign! A sign that fell from the back of your pants. I learned to trust signs like that. [walks away]
 * SpongeBob: Patrick. [the comic book store clerk shows up]
 * Comic Book Store Clerk: Hey, you going to pay for those comics? [SpongeBob's arms fall off with the comics]
 * SpongeBob: No. [gets kicked out] Ow! Can I have my arms back? [cut to SpongeBob's house]
 * Patrick: I wish not to be disturbed, SpongeBob, for I am about to erupt with a masterpiece. [walks away]
 * SpongeBob: Good luck. [doorbell rings] Coming-- [Patrick slams door against SpongeBob]
 * Patrick: SpongeBob, could I borrow a pencil and some paper and a place to work? [cut to Patrick at the desk]
 * Patrick: [hovering the pencil over the paper] SpongeBob! THIS PENCIL IS BROKEN! Why won't it make words?
 * SpongeBob: You have to think of the words yourself. [walks away with the laundry]
 * Patrick: I think I wrote a poem once. [flashback to Patrick's childhood]

 * Patrick: [present time] Ohh, dodgeballs.
 * SpongeBob: [shadow figure of himself holding a dodgeball and wearing an evil grin] Oh, Patrick!
 * Patrick: [screams] Don't hit me with a dodgeball! [hides under the desk and SpongeBob turns on the lights and Gary pops out of his shell]
 * Gary: Meow.
 * SpongeBob: Why would I hit you with a dodgeball?
 * Patrick: I never told anyone this I wrote a poem once.
 * SpongeBob: [gets shocked] No!
 * Patrick: Wait! There's more. When I read it to the class, they pelted me with dodgeballs! Just because we were playing dodgeball! [starts crying] Whyyyyyy?!?!?!? [dramatic music plays]
 * SpongeBob: [stops Gary's record player] You can play your records later, Gary. Patrick, is that why you had trouble writing?
 * Patrick: I'm worried my poem's not going to be any good and you're going to hit me with dodgeballs.
 * SpongeBob: Oh, I don't even own a dodgeball. Do you, Gary?
 * Gary: [saying no in sarcasm] Meow.
 * Patrick: If you're serious, I can do this. I'm going to use my brain.
 * SpongeBob: That's the spirit, Patrick! I'll open a window. [cut to SpongeBob's house with an opened window with Patrick struggling to write the poem]
 * Patrick: [tapping his head with the pencil] Come on, you stupid brain! work! [Patrick's brain starts working and smoke comes out] It's working! [struggling as he starts writing]
 * SpongeBob: [knocking] Patrick, don't strain yourself. [Patrick continues struggling as Squidward opens the window]
 * Squidward: Now, what's going on? [looks disgusted] What is that horrible smell? [SpongeBob comes out] Is Patrick thinking again?
 * Patrick: I'm making art!
 * Squidward: Patrick, it smells like something crawled in your brain and died.
 * Patrick: That's the creative process at work! [Squidward closes the window] Ready to go to the post office? [shows a letter with his poem in it] I need to mail in my masterpiece.
