Lyrics[]
Benjamin, I need to find a clue
To get myself Sebastian's job
To stage a little coup
A straw to break the camel's back
A teeny dent, a tiny crack
A quiver or a quake
What I need is one mistake
[Ow!]
[Oh, so sorry]
Just one mistake
[Now, color. Sardine silver?]
[No thanks]
[Orange roughy?]
[Not in the mood]
[Rainbow trout?]
[Just paint them the shade of clarified butter!]
Sebastian, oh, better be on his guard
Cause I have some electric chums
And they'll be looking very hard
A straw to break Sebastian's back
A teeny dent, a tiny crack
A dowdy double take
What I need is one mistake
[Uno error]
Just one mistake
Then... Hello, world
It's Marina Del Rey
I'm the new attachée
Or maybe more
Oh, I want so much more
Hello, world
I'm the belle of the ball
I'm the greatest of all the loyal royal big shots
Work it, Marina
Pouty, sassy
From the engine to the chassis
Got to, got to
Get it, get it
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta have it
A straw to break the camel's back
A teeny dent, a tiny crack
A mini mighty break
What I need is one mistake
[And after that, who knows?
Sebastian's bound to make a mistake, right?]
[Not likely]
[Dreamkiller!]
