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 clown

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

And I'll 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), and 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 Mau

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 a 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
