||
Performed by Dwayne Johnson as Maui |
||
... |
||
I see what's happening here |
||
You're face to face with greatness, and it's strange |
||
You don't even know how you feel |
||
It's adorable! |
||
Well, it's nice to see that humans never change |
||
... |
||
Open your eyes, let's begin |
||
Yes, it's really me, it's Maui: breathe it in! |
||
... |
||
I know it's a lot: the hair, the bod! |
||
When you're staring at a demi-god |
||
... |
||
What can I say except you're welcome |
||
For the tides, the sun, the sky |
||
Hey, it's okay, it's okay |
||
You're welcome |
||
I'm just an ordinary demi-guy |
||
... |
||
Hey! |
||
What has two thumbs that pulled up the sky |
||
When you were waddling yay high |
||
This guy! |
||
... |
||
When the nights got cold |
||
Who stole you fire from down below |
||
You're lookin' at him, yo |
||
... |
||
Oh, also I lassoed the sun |
||
You're welcome! |
||
To stretch the days and bring you fun |
||
... |
||
Also I harnessed the breeze |
||
You're welcome! |
||
To fill your sails and shake your trees |
||
... |
||
So what can I say except you're welcome |
||
For the islands I pulled from the sea |
||
There's no need to pray, it's okay |
||
You're welcome! |
||
Ha, I guess it's just my way of being me |
||
You're welcome! |
||
You're welcome! |
||
... |
||
Well, come to think of it |
||
Kid, honestly I can go on and on |
||
I can explain every natural phenomenon |
||
The tide, the grass, the ground, oh |
||
That was Maui just messing around |
||
... |
||
I killed an eel |
||
I buried its guts |
||
Sprouted a tree, now you got coconuts |
||
What's the lesson |
||
What is the take-away |
||
Don't mess with Maui when he's on the break-away |
||
... |
||
And the tapestry here on my skin |
||
Is a map of the victories I win |
||
Look where I've been |
||
I make everything happen |
||
Look at that mini-Maui just tippity-tappin' |
||
... |
||
Well, anyway let me say you're welcome |
||
For the wonderful world you know |
||
Hey, it's okay, it's okay |
||
You're welcome! |
||
Well, come to think of it, I gotta go |
||
... |
||
Hey, it's your day to say you're welcome |
||
'Cause I'm gonna need that boat |
||
I'm sailing away, away |
||
You're welcome! |
||
'Cause Maui can do anything but float |
||
... |
||
You're welcome! |
||
You're welcome! |
||
And thank you! |
