"What You Want" is a deleted song originally written for Muppets Most Wanted by Bret McKenzie. The song was redone as "I'll Get You What You Want (Cockatoo in Malibu)." A demo version of the song's outtake can be heard as a bonus track on the Muppets Most Wanted soundtrack in 2014.
The song is something of an upbeat, rockabilly version of the film's slower, more dance-like final product.
Lyrics[]
Baby, stop right there
Let me clear the air
Let me apologize
I know what you're thinking of
You're thinking "where's the love?"
Oh, it's right before your eyes
Ooh, baby, can't you see
When you're with me, the light is green
Green is go, so no more waitin' round
Let's get this show on the road
Ding-dong-ding-dong-ding-dong-da-do
I can give you what you want (what you want)
I can give you what you need (what you need)
But I can give you everything you dream
No, baby, ooh, let's go, the light is green
I'll make your dreams reality
I'll make you go "ooh, whee"
I'll satisfy all your desires
Oh, I'll give you anything you want
Baby, I'll be your Santa Claus
Ooh, you can sit down by the fre
Ooh, baby, can't you see
When you're with me, the light is green
Green is go, so no more waitin' round
Let's get this show on the road
Ding-dong-ding-dong-ding-dong-da-do
I can give you what you want (what you want)
I can give you what you need (what you need)
But I can give you everything you dream
No, baby, ooh, let's go, the light is green
Let's rock
Oh, baby, I'll make you a movie star
Drivin' round in a limousine
Get you up on that silver screen
Ooh, baby, do you like the taste of fame?
There's nothin' sweeter than them screamin' out your name
I can give you what you want (what you want)
I can give you what you need (what you need)
But I can give you everything you dream
No, baby, ooh, let's go, the light is green
Ooh, yeah, the light is green
Oh, baby, don't stop now, the light is green
Mmm, oh, I think you know what I mean
