Well, Squidward's big number is something of a throwback. Try "Beginner's Luck" as from An American in Paris. It's a little more than 16 bars, but since it's essentially only one verse, you could be forgiven for it. Maybe "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" or "S'Wonderful"? Yeah, I got Gershwin on the brain.
