  • There's no place like home!
There's no place like home! (Sandy starts crying)
  • I wish I was in Texas - Sandy Cheeks (with Junior Brown)
Wish I was back in Texas,
The ocean's no place for a squirrel
Wish I was in Texas,
Prettiest place in the world, oh no
I guess deep in my heart,
I'll always be a Texas girl
I wanna go hommmme...hoommmmme,
Yodel-ay-e-oh, yodel-ay-e-oh,
Yodel-ay-e-oh, a-lay-ee, a-lay-ee
I wanna wake up in Texas,
I miss those wide, open skies
I miss my twenty acres,
Barbeques and pecan pies, oh why
When I'm so far from you Texas,
All I can do is cry
Yodel-ay-e-oh, yodel-ay-e-oh,
Yodel-ay-e-oh, a-lay-ee, a-lay-ee
I wanna go hoommme,
(deep voice) I wanna go hooommmmme

Plot

SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy are making sandcastles at Goo Lagoon when Sandy gets homsesick. She walks off, while SpongeBob tries to cheer her up. SpongeBob and Patrick blindfold her and take her to her treedome, but Sandy knows this is not her real home. SpongeBob and Patrick realize that Sandy's from Texas, and decide to bring some Texas to Bikini Bottom to cheer up Sandy. Sandy wants to leave Bikini Bottom and go back to Texas, but SpongeBob and Patrick have a surprise for her at the Krusty Krab. Failing to convince her to go to the Krusty Krab, Patrick shouts after the bus which Sandy just boarded, saying "What's so great about dumb old Texas, anyway?" Sandy comes back and yells "Don't you dare take the name of Texas in vain!" This gives SpongeBob a brilliant idea. He and Patrick start insulting Texas in order to distract Sandy, and so she angrily chases them on a homocidal rampage. They hope to reach the Krusty Krab before Sandy catches them. Patrick continuously insults Texas, thinking Sandy is too slow to catch up to them, only so that both of them realize that Sandy is catching up, and fast. While they're running as fast as they possibly can a lasso is thrown up on top of Patrick, pulling him back. Patrick suddenly exclaims" Ah! Spongebob!", as an explosion in the background lets out. Spongebob still hoping to reach the Krusty Krab is both screaming and running. Sandy then lassos Spongebobs arm, while he has firm grasp of the door with his other hand. While Sandy is tugging on the rope, Spongebob tears the door knob off, taking the front of the Krusty Krab with him. Where the party shouts "Howdy yal!", and Sandy decides that she's been home all along. But then, Patrick shouts "Yeah, who needs dumb old Texas?" Sandy gets angry once again, and Patrick asks "Should I start runnig now?"
