LUKE spoken
Come on grab some ambrosia and let the nectar flow

PERCY spoken
Why is everyone scraping part of their plate into the fire
Is the food here really that bad

My dad is Hermes

He messengers things

F C G C

You'll know his sign by his shoes with those wings

F C G Am

I'd wait by the phone but the phone never rings

F

Oh no

F C G Am

When your dad's a god life can be tough

F C G C

I met the guy once and once was enough

C
LUKE Spoken Annabeth

[ANNABETH]

F C

My mom is Athena

G C

She’s smart and she’s wise

F C G C

She’s sworn off gluten and she’s sworn off guys

F C G Am

If she came to Camp it’d be a surprise

F

Oh no

F C G Am

Oh and my step-mom she hates me and my dad works all day

F C G C

So I left Virginia and I ran away

PERCY spoken Wait is that true

F C G Am

For their sixteenth birthday my friends got a car

F C G C

I got a fern in some dumb mason jar

GROVER Spoken Ooh ooh My turn

F C

I’m a child of Pan

The god of the wild

F C G Am

For those who love nature they’re often beguiled

F C G C

He’s not really my dad but I’m sort of his child

F C G C

‘Cause she steals my mascara and all of my dates

And food that was blue and…

C
KATIE Spoken He’s doing it wrong
C
SILENA Yeah who’s your godly parent
C
PERCY Oh I don’t know
C
[LUKE] It’s alright. A lot of half-bloods never know their godly parent. Just give it a try.

[PERCY]

F* C*

So my dad is some god

G* C*

That’s great I guess

F* C* G* C*

Did he not want me or not want the stress

F* C* G* Am*

Too bad he’s the worst and my life is a mess

I hope that he shows even a trace

F C G C

‘Cause I’ve got some choice words to throw in his face
