Another Terrible Day

Lyrics: Rob Rokicki Music: Rob Rokicki MR. D: Oh, you're alive I suppose that's good news for you But it means a lot more paperwork for me So don't expect me to be happy to see you Of course, being alive is temporary (Spoken) So, maybe if I go away and play pinochle for a few hours, things might improve. For me. Not for you. You'd be dead. PERCY: (Spoken) Where am I? MR. D: Great! You haven't been debriefed This is way out of my pay grade Which is saying a lot 'Cause I don't get paid (Spoken) Someone find Professor Hay-for-breath and tell him Peter Johnson is awake, so he better clip-clop over here! PERCY: (Spoken) It's Percy Jackson MR. D: (Spoken) Whatever! (Sung) Just another terrible day At Camp Half-Blood Where everything's the worst Just another terrible day When you're in charge It's like you're cursed (Spoken) Well, technically I am cursed. One romp in the woods with Zeus' favorite wood nymph, and you're stuck running a summer camp for a bunch of needy half-bloods. PERCY: (Spoken) Half-blood? MR. D: (Spoken) Yeah, half-god, half-mortal. Does no one watch the orientation film? PERCY: (Spoken) Did you say half-god? MR D: (Spoken) Yeah. And I half-care Who's next? Silena Beauregard! Oh, great, she's crying. SILENA: (Spoken) I was walking in the strawberry fields with Charlie Beckendorf and we were holding hands and everything was totally normal and then I kissed him and all of a sudden he started growing sunflowers. Everywhere! MR. D: Look, kid I hate to be the one to tell you But I think that Charlie Beckendorf was also holding hands with a nymph That doesn't wanna to wish you well To tell you the truth The best thing is to break up with the guy (Spoken) 'Course, who am I to give relationship advice, I'm literally the god of alcohol SILENA: (Spoken) But he loves me- MR. D: (Spoken) He loves you not! Next! (Sung) Another terrible day At Camp Half-Blood Where everything's the worst Just another terrible day I'm the god of wine And I'm dying of thirst PERCY: (Spoken) Wait, did you say you're a god? MR. D: (Spoken) Dionysus, god of wine. The gods are real. Yippy skippy. Ah, Katie Gardner. I see you've injured your arm. KATIE: (Spoken) I fell off a pegasus. MR. D: (Spoken) You don't have flying lessons on Thursdays, you have archery. KATIE: (Spoken) Those arrows are made of wood! wood comes from trees! I refuse to participate in any activity that encourages the senseless slaughter of our arboreal friends- MR. D: Oh, gods Give me Ares or Apollo Anyone but the Demeter kids cabin Now that you blessed us Go talk to Hephaestus Before I take a knife to my head and start stabbing (Spoken) And stay away from the pegasi! Girls and ponies... Ah, speaking of ponies. MR. BRUNNER: (Spoken) Percy! PERCY: (Spoken) Mr. Brunner! What are you doing here? This guy is saying all this crazy stuff about nymphs and gods and... What is going on? MR. BRUNNER: (Spoken) It's... complicated- MR. D: Oh kid, You have no idea About this place or your former mentor I don't have time To fill you in on the details But look, he's also a centaur (Spoken) God! CHIRON: (Spoken) I did mean to tell you... MR. D: Another terrible day (PERCY: Mr. Brunner! ) At Camp Half-blood (PERCY: You're a horse! ) Where everything's the worst Another terrible day (PERCY: What is happening? ) You can hate it here But I hated it first Just another terrible day Stuck with these runts In the muck and mud Another terrible day Oh gods! (Speaking) I need a drink (Sung) Enjoy your stay At Camp Half-blood
