The Campfire Song Songtext
von Rob Rokicki

Come one, 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
And they're 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 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 (oh, I hear that)

Annabeth!

Well, my mom′s Athena, she's smart and she′s wise
She swore off gluten and she swore off guys
But if she came to came, 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, let me see, um
My mom's Demeter, goddess of grains
She gets excited when it's starts to rain
But planting and planting and planting′s a pain!
Oh, no...

Oh, no...

Right?
For their 16th birthday, my friends got a car!
I got a fern in some dumb mason jar!

Ooh, ooh, my turn!
I′m the 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! (Yeah, his dad's definitely the worst)

How about you, Silena?

The goddess of love, my mom's Aphrodite
She tried to be cool, but mainly she′s flighty
I′ll bring home a boy, and she's there in her nighty!

Oh, no!

It′s so embarrassing, guys!
I try to seek help, from even the fates
'Cause she steals my mascara
And all of my dates

Alright, Percy, it′s your turn! (Yeah, go ahed, Percy)

If I try to sing, it'll probably cause an avalanche

Aww, we′re all friends here, c'mon, give it a shot

Okay, uhm
My mom was named Sally, she loved scary movies
The 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

Alright
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...

Oh, yes, Percy!!

I hope he shows, even a trace
′Cause I've got some choice words
To throw in his face!

Yes, Percy, that′s what I'm talking about!

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!
