Lyrics[]

Plankton: Oh, my Karen. Oh, my Karen.
Oh, my computer wife, Karen.
Put down those punch cards,
Put down those punch cards,
And listen to my ode.
Oh, my Karen. Oh, my Karen.
Oh, my computer wife, Karen.
What compares to,
What compares to...
Ehhhh, um, eeh... Ah-ha!
Your beautiful diodes?
[instrumental break]
Oh, my Karen. Oh, my Karen.
Oh, my computer wife, Karen.
I was blinded, yes, I was blinded,
I was blinded by the light of your cathode ray.
Oh, I built you, yes, I built you,
I built you in the - ehhh... erm...
In the shape of a cube!
Oh, my Karen. Oh, my Karen.
You'll never know how much I love your vacuum tubes!

History[]

Plankton creates this song for Karen on their wedding anniversary. He only does it so Karen will give him the Krabby Patty secret formula. Plankton gets the idea for creating the song with some help from SpongeBob after he hears him crying on the street.

The song makes Karen so happy that she decides to give Plankton the formula. While loading the formula, Karen somehow cries and wets her control device creating an error just seconds before Plankton would have been able to use the Krabby Patty secret formula to get more customers.

Trivia[]
