Opetaia Foa'i - Shiny (Demo) lyrics

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
