Shiny Lyrics - Mark Mancina

Well, 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 

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!) 

Oh, and here they come, come, come 

To the brightest thing that glitters 

Mmm, fish dinners 

I just love free food 

And you look like seafood (seafood) 

Well, well, well 

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 

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 (give 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 armour's just not hard enough 

Maui 

Now it's time 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 

Shiny
