Shiny (Demo)

Shiny (Demo) - Lin-Manuel Miranda

Written by：Mark Mancina/Lin-Manuel Miranda

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
