The Campfire Song

The Campfire Song-Original cast of The Lightning Thief Musical

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!
