Tamatoa started singing.

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 grampy say "listen to your heart"

Be who you are on the inside

I need three words to tear his argument apart

Your grampy 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

You look like seafood

He was about to eat Trollex until...

"Hey! Crab Cake!"

Maui managed to get his hook, "I'm back. It's Maui Time!"

Tamatoa gasped and dropped Trollex.

"What do you say, little buddy? Giant hawk? Coming up...Cheehoo!!!"

But, instead of a hawk, he turned into a fish.

Then, a variety of other animals, then back into his old self.

Trollex silently gasped.

Tamatoa continued singing.

***

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 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

(He threw Trollex in a small cage and tormented Maui.)

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 demigod 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 worms who abandoned you

(Tamatoa uncovered a tattoo of a mother throwing her baby in the ocean.)

Chasing the love of these Trolls

Who made you feel wanted

You try to be tough

But your armor'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
