The Campfire Song Songtext
von Jonathan Raviv & The Lightning Thief Company

Come on, grab some ambrosia, and let the nectar flow
Why is everyone scraping part of their plate into the fire? Is the food here really that bad?
Offering to the gods. It′s not enough that their omnipotent and all-powerful, they need to feel appreciated
To the gods!
To the gods!
Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your parents run the universe
Oh, things couldn′t be worse
When your folks run the universe
My dad is Hermes
He messengers things
You'll know his sign by his shoes with those wings
I'd wait by the phone, but the phone never rings
Oh no
When your dad′s a god, life can be tough
I met the guy once, and once was enough
Annabeth?
My mom′s Athena
She's smart and she′s wise
She's sworn off gluten and she′s sworn off guys


But if she came to camp, it'd be a surprise
Oh no (Oh no)
Oh, and my stepmom, she hates me, and my dad works all day
So I left Virginia and I ran away
Wait, is that true?
Everybody!
Oh, things couldn′t be worse
When your parents run the universe
Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your folks run the universe
Alright, who's next?
Oh! Okay, let me see
My mom′s Demeter
Goddess of grain
She gets excited when it starts to rain
But planting and planting and planting′s a pain
Oh no (Oh no)
Right?
For their sixteenth birthday, my friends got a car
I got a fern in some dumb mason jar
Ooh, ooh! My turn!
I'm a child of Pan
God of the wild
For those who love nature, they′re often beguiled
He's not really my dad, but I′m sort of his child
Oh no (Oh no)
He went for a hike to explore new frontiers
And no one has seen him for thousands of years
Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your parents run the universe
Oh, things couldn′t be worse
When your folks run the universe
Chiron! Who's your dad?
Oh, well
My father is Kronos
Remember my lecture
He ate his children
Chiron wins
How about you Silena?
The goddess of love
My mom's Aphrodite
She tries to be cool but mainly she′s flighty
I′ll bring home a boy, and she's there in her nightie (Oh no)
It′s so embarrassing, guys!
I tried to seek help from even the fates
Cause she steals my mascara and all of my dates
Alright, Percy, it's your turn
If I tried to sing, it′ll probably cause an avalanche
Oh, we're all friends here. Come on, give it a shot
My mom was named Sally
She loved scary movies
And food that was blue
And-
He′s doing it wrong
Yeah, who's your godly parent?
Oh... I don't know
It′s alright A lot of half-bloods never know their godly parent. Just give it a try
So my dad is some god
That′s great I guess
Did he not want me? Or not want the stress?
Too bad he's the worst, and my life is a mess
Oh no
I hope he shows even a trace
Cause I got some choice words to throw in his face!
Oh, things couldn′t be worse
When your parents run the universe
Oh, things couldn't be worse
But I don′t care where our parents may be
As long as you are here with me
We don't care where our parents may be
As long as you are here with me
As long as you are here with me!
