shiny demo
Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam
I was a drab little crab once
Now I know I can be happy as a clam
Because I'm beautiful, baby
Oh, did your daddy say to listen to your heart?
Be who you are on the inside?
I need three words to tear his argument apart
Your daddy lied
I'd rather be shiny
Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck
Scrub the deck and make it look shiny
I will sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck
Just a sec, don't you know?
Fish are dumb, dumb, dumb
They chase anything that glitters, beginners
Here they come, come, come
To the brightest thing that glitters
My dinners
You're far too hasty (hasty)
You look tasty (tasty)
Wow, little Maui's having trouble with his look
You little semi-demi-mini-god
Ouch! What a terrible performance
Get the hook! (Get it?)
You don't swing it like you used to, man
Yet I have to give you credit for my start
And your tattoos on the outside
For just like you I made myself a work of art
I'll never hide, I can't
I'm too shiny
I'm the sunrise on the surface of the sea
Look at me, you see I'm so shiny
The monsters see my weaponry and flee
C'est la vie, don't you know
I will shine, shine, shine
Like a rainbow after showers
Your powers will be mine, mine, mine
They'll be mourning you for hours
Bring flowers
Call me selfish (selfish)
Call me shellfish (shellfish)
Far from the gods who abandoned you
Chasing the love of these humans
Who made you feel wanted
It's never enough
Love yourself, get your armor up
They can see, your heart is a vacancy
So why not be shiny
Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough
Strut my stuff, my stuff is so shiny
Send your armies but they'll never be enough
My shell's too tough, Maui man
You could try, try, try
But I hate negotiations, prostrations
You will die, die, die
Never test a big crustacean's impatience
Unless you have something shiny
Unless you have something shiny
