Lyrics
Well, Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam
I was a drab little crab once
And now I know I can be happy as a clam
Because I'm beautiful, baby
And did your granny say "listen to your heart"?
"Be who you are on the inside"
I need three words to tear her argument apart
Your granny 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)
And here they come, come, come
To the brightest thing that glitters
Mmm, fish dinners
I just love free food
You look like seafood
Well, well, well
Little Maui's having trouble with his look
You little semi-demi-mini-god
What a terrible performance
Get the hook
You don't swing it like you used to, man
Though 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
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 you can't expect a demi-god
To beat a decapod (look it up)
You will die, die, die
Now it's time for me to take apart
Your aching heart
Far from the ones who abandoned you
Chasing the love of these humans
Who made you feel wanted
You tried to be tough
But your armor's just not hard enough
Maui
Now it's time for me to kick your
Hiney
Ever seen someone so
Shiny
Soak it in 'cause it's the last you'll ever see
C'est la vie mon ami
I'm so
Shiny
Now I'll eat you, so prepare your final plea
Just for me
You'll never be quite as shiny
You wish you were nice and
Wish you were nice and
Shiny
