shiny (demo)
Singer:moana cast
tamatoa hasn't always been this glam
i was a drab little crab once
now i know i can be happy as a clam
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
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
they chase anything that glitters
to the brightest thing that glitters
little maui's having trouble with his look
you little semi-demi-mini-god
ouch! what a terrible performance
you don't swing it like you used to
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'm the sunrise on the surface of the sea
the monsters see my weaponry and flee
like a rainbow after showers
they'll be mourning you for hours
far from the gods who abandoned you
chasing the love of these humans
watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough
send your armies but they'll never be enough
never test a big crustacean's impatience
unless you have something shiny
unless you have something shiny
