This song is from Season 1, Episode 2b “Ripped Pants”.
It was the first song in the show sung by a character. This is also the first episode with Larry the Lobster and Spongebob’s spot-on impersonation of Squidward.
This song’s message is simply this: Don’t try to be something you’re not.

[Intro: SpongeBob SquarePants]
I thought that I had everybody on my side
But I went and blew it all sky high
And now she won't even spare a passing glance
All just because I ripped my pants
[Chorus: The Losers of the Beach]
When big Larry came 'round just to put him down
Spongebob turned into a clown
And no girl ever wants to dance
With a fool who went and ripped his pants
[Verse: The Losers of the Beach]
I know I shouldn't mope around, I shouldn't curse
But the pain feels so much worse
'Cause windin' up with no one is a lot less fun
Than a burn from the sun
Or sand in your buns
[Outro: SpongeBob SquarePants & The Losers of the Beach]
Now I learned a lesson I won't soon forget
So listen and you won't regret
Be true to yourself, don't miss your chance
And you won't end up like the fool who ripped his pants
