[Verse 1]
Two lightning bolts were delivered to my room
They were gifts from Zeus
I rock the bolts in a bassinet of pine
People ask me how I am
I say, "I'm all right, I'm fine"
[Verse 2]
I push the lightning bolts in a pram
Till the sun goes down and it gets dark
And the girls from Jubilee Street hang out their windows
And they wave and ask me how I am tonight
I say, "I'm good, I'm all right"
[Verse 3]
In Athens all the youths are crying from the gas
I'm by the hotel pool working on a tan
People come up and ask me who I am
I say, "If you don't know, don't ask"
Zeus laughs, but it's the gas
And he asks me how I am
I say, "Zeus, don't ask"
[Verse 4]
My lightning bolts are jolts of joy
They are joy boys from Zeus
I feed them porridge in their booster seats of knowledge
And in the cradle of democracy, the pigeons are wearing gas masks
Two lightning bolts were delivered to my room
They were gifts from Zeus
I rock the bolts in a bassinet of pine
People ask me how I am
I say, "I'm all right, I'm fine"
[Verse 2]
I push the lightning bolts in a pram
Till the sun goes down and it gets dark
And the girls from Jubilee Street hang out their windows
And they wave and ask me how I am tonight
I say, "I'm good, I'm all right"
[Verse 3]
In Athens all the youths are crying from the gas
I'm by the hotel pool working on a tan
People come up and ask me who I am
I say, "If you don't know, don't ask"
Zeus laughs, but it's the gas
And he asks me how I am
I say, "Zeus, don't ask"
[Verse 4]
My lightning bolts are jolts of joy
They are joy boys from Zeus
I feed them porridge in their booster seats of knowledge
And in the cradle of democracy, the pigeons are wearing gas masks
