"In The Same Boat"
(from "The Lightning Thief (Original Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[Percy:]
Wow, maybe your mom should've totally chilled
Instead of making monsters that get us all killed!

[Annabeth:]
Well, maybe your dad should've picked a better place
All he did was diss her with disgrace

[Grover:]
Guys, calm it down
With all life's stresses
It ain't worth cleaning up your parents' messes
Now ask me where we are, I'll give you three guesses!

Ask me!

[Percy & Annabeth:]
Where are we?

[Grover:]
We're in the same bo-o-oat
In the very same bo-o-oat

[Percy & Annabeth:]
I'd like to wrap my hands around that half-blood's throat!

[Annabeth:]
Don't need to heed a talking goat!

[Grover:]
The same bo-o-o-o-o-oat
We're in the same boat!

And look what I found at Medusa's place!

[Percy:]
Three Amtrak tickets?

[Grover:]
Why run from monsters when we can ride?

We're in the same tra-a-ain
In the very same tra-a-ain

[Percy:]
With Anna-blegh!

[Annabeth:]
And Seaweed Brain!

[Percy:]
You're so high-strung

[Annabeth:]
Well, you're insane!

[Grover:]
The same tra-a-a-a-ain
We're in the same train!

[Conductor:]
Last stop, Denver, Colorado!

[Percy:]
Wow, check out those rocky mountains!

[Annabeth:]
You mean the Rocky Mountains?

[Grover:]
That is so beautiful. I need a veggie burger!

[Ares:]
Did someone say 'veggie burger?'

[Grover:]
Sweet!

[Annabeth:]
Wait, does anyone else find this suspicious?

[Ares:]
Roll with it. It's not every day you get a veggie burger from a god. Ares, god of war! Maybe you've met my daughter, Clarisse? Woah, woah, woah, relax, I come in peace! I hear you runts are headed to Hades, but you'll never make it on public transportation. I can take you as far as Vegas. Y'all cool with motorcycles, right?

[Percy & Grover:]
Sweet!

[Annabeth:]
Wait!

[Percy, Annabeth & Grover:]
We're on the same bi-i-ike!
On the very same bi-i-ike!

[Annabeth:]
There's lots about this that I don't like!
Can we trust this guy?

[Percy:]
You could always hike!

[All Three:]
The same bi-i-i-i-ike
We're on the same bike!

[Ares:]
Vegas, baby! Forgettin' somethin'? This is where I get off

[Grover:]
That guy is so cool!

[Annabeth:]
Okay, gang, we need a place to spend the night

[Percy:]
Uh, how 'bout here? The Lotus Hotel

[Annabeth:]
You're joking, right? In the Odyssey, if you went to sleep in a lotus bed, one night could last a hundred years!

[Percy:]
Well, I'm sure that's irrelevant. Uh, excuse me, miss, how long have you been at this hotel?

[Bianca Di Angelo:]
Why, my brother and I arrived just yesterday, May 1st, 1939!

[Percy & Grover:]
Ahh!

[Annabeth:]
Taxi!

[Grover:]
Bada badada ba ba badada
Bada badada ba ba badada

[Grover & Percy:]
Bada badada ba ba badada
Bada badada ba ba badada
...

[Annabeth:]
Athena, give me strength so I don't kill him!
Mother, guide with your wisdom, lend me some sense
I defend you, but I only tend to will him
To get more and more defensive
Terse and tense!

Mother? Figures...

[Percy:]
Los Angeles!

[Annabeth:]
It's strange
Sometimes I think I'm dreaming
It's messed up, but he's kinda cute
When he's angry and all screamy
He's so weird
But a good weird

Our parents' paths are pushing us apart
And my head is always stronger than my heart
If only he would say something that was remotely smart!

[Percy:]
I got it. The map was upside down

[Annabeth:]
Ugh!

[Percy:]
Here we are, DOA Records

[Grover:]
I kinda figured there'd be monsters

[Percy:]
Yeah, uh, who knew that the lobby to the Underworld would be so...

[Annabeth:]
Dead?

[Charon:]
Going down? No sobs, no screaming, and no getting seasick!

[Percy:]
How do you get seasick in an elevator? Boat!

[Annabeth:]
The way to the Underworld is over the Styx
It's a river

[Percy:]
I know, you showoff
Chicks

[Annabeth:]
Sexist, much?
Go make a splash

[Percy:]
I'll splash you

[Grover:]
It's like watching titans clash
They'll kill each other, or they'll kiss
If we're lucky, they'll end up in an abyss

[Charon:]
I've seen some messed up stuff
But nothing quite like this

[Annabeth:]
If you'd just listen

[Percy:]
If you'd stop criticizing me!

[Percy & Annabeth continue arguing]

[Grover:]
We're in the same bo-o-oat
In the literal bo-o-oat
I'm trying to stay afloat above the lava moat
Have you even heard a word coming from my throat?

The same bo-o-woah, woah, woah!
We're in the same...

[All Three:]
Ahh!

[Annabeth:]
Did we just... almost die?

[Percy:]
I feel something strange

[Charon:]
Is it... seasickness?

[Percy:]
Perspective. That stuff with our parents, it's ancient history

[Annabeth:]
And who says history has to repeat itself?

[Grover:]
Say it! Say it! You know you wanna say it! Just say it already!

[Percy & Annabeth:]
We're in the same bo-o-oat

[Grover:]
Yes! Weird guy!

[Charon:]
In the very same bo-wo-woat

[Grover:]
Everybody now!

[All:]
We're in the same...

[Grover:]
Baa!

[All:]
Boat!
