The Gods Have Nothing To Be Jealous Of

[Jim Colyer]

Jupiter is all-powerful
He rules the sky
Pluto rules below
Our souls when we die
Neptune is the god
Of oceans and seas
All are immortal
Nothing like me

Venus is lovely
Her beauty never fades
She shines forever
Untouched by age
Vulcan the blacksmith
With his hands and tools
So very clever
Unlike us fools

The Gods Have Nothing To Be Jealous Of
No reason to envy any of us
On Mount Olympus they make their home
Their dominion extending beyond Greece and Rome

Apollo makes music
God of the sun
Goes on living
When our lives are done
Diana is a huntress
She hunts by night
Apollo's twin sister
Bathed in moonlight

Juno's a goddess
She's Jupiter's queen
Mercury's their messenger
Wings on his feet
Mars makes war
Never loses a fight
Minerva's all-wise
She's always right

The Gods Have Nothing To Be Jealous Of
No reason to envy any of us
On Mount Olympus they make their home
Their dominion extending beyond Greece and Rome

Bacchus stays drunk
On wine and plays
Never hung-over
At the start of the day

The Gods Have Nothing To Be Jealous Of
No reason to envy any of us
On Mount Olympus they make their home
Their dominion extending beyond Greece and Rome
