This is the song by the same name from A Hat in Time, with added lyrics. The song is themed around the game itself, with Kyle Wright playing DJ Grooves, and Darby Cupit playing the Conductor.
[Intro: Kyle Wright & Darby Cupit]
This trophy’s all for me, darlin’!
If you want it… I guess you just have to come and get it!
Oh, look at DJ Peck Neck here, yammerin’ about his trophy!
Ye can pry it from me cold, dead hands!
[Verse 1: Kyle Wright & Darby Cupit]
Cinematic, movie magic
Dear Conductor, your life’s so tragic
Line up for the big parade
DJ Grooves gets the award today
Oi, Peck Neck, show some respect
If you don’t, you’ll end up like my train – wrecked!
‘Cause I’ve got a winnin’ streak, and I'm here to stay!
Just another award on me resume!
[Chorus: Both]
Lights, camera, action!
Work to satisfaction!
With Time Piece transactions
Increase that critic score!
[Verse 2: Kyle Wright]
Hey, birdbrain, show some respect
Step aside for a man who knows how to direct
I’m the main attraction
And I’m a-getting that award!
[Verse 3: Both]
I direct the best in town
Don’t act like you haven’t heard
Your genre’s getting stale
Yeah, I think it’s for the birds
While you pander to the base
Inflate that critic score
I will win the voting race
I’m a-getting that award!
[Chorus: Both]
Lights, camera, action!
Let’s put you in traction!
I’m the main attraction
And I’m getting that award!
[Verse 4: Kyle Wright & Darby Cupit]
The market for trains is overinflated
Overexposed your films, audiences are jaded
I make movies for a crowd who’ll appreciate it
See the people pleaser, you can’t debate it!
Big squawks from a young upstart
You crank out filth, I put in the heart
Maybe the film’s not for ye, ‘cause you ain’t smart
Welcome to cinema! I do this for the art!
[Interlude: Kyle Wright & Darby Cupit]
Quality over quantity, baby!
And I can beat ye in both!
You wanna try doin’ this faster?
Oi, peck neck, learn from the master!
You’d be better as a weather forecaster!
Well I predict you’re a disaster!
You’re gonna see my name in lights
And you’ll be seeing stars when I win the fight!
You’re gonna see me name in lights
And you’ll be seein’ stars when I win the fight!
[Verse 5: Both]
Oi, birdbrain, show some respect
If you don’t, you’ll end up like the train – wrecked!
‘Cause I’m winnin’ this thing, and I’m here to stay
Just another award on my resume!
[Bridge: Both]
Lights, camera, action!
Let’s settle the score!
With Time Piece transactions
I’ll win the award
[Verse 3: Both]
I direct the best in town
Don’t act like you haven’t heard
Your genre’s getting stale
Yeah, I think it’s for the birds
[Chorus: Both]
Lights, camera, action!
Let’s put you in traction!
I’m the main attraction
And I’m a-getting that award!
[Verse 6: Kyle Wright & Darby Cupit]
Oi, Peck Neck, show some respect
(The market for trains is overinflated)
If you don’t, you’ll end up like me train – wrecked!
(Overexposed your films, audiences are jaded)
‘Cause I’ve got a winnin’ streak, and it’s here to stay!
(I make movies for a crowd who’ll appreciate it)
Just another award on me resume!
(See the people pleaser, you can’t debate it!)
[Outro: Kyle Wright, Darby Cupit & Both]
Lights, camera, action!
(Cinematic, movie magic)
Work to satisfaction!
(Dear Conductor, your life’s so tragic)
With Time Piece transactions
(Line up for the big parade)
Increase that critic score!
(DJ Grooves gets the award today)
Lights, camera, action!
Let’s put you in traction!
I’m the main attraction
And I’m a-getting that award!
