Smart Dad Living - What Does It Mean?

A long long time ago
Zeus and Mnemosyne
Laid nine nights in a row
At the Aegean Sea
Their divine consortium
Created nine muses
A favorite one to use
Apollo never chooses
Where the wolf's howl is hidden from the sun
Up the sacred way where divination's done

What does it mean
What does it mean
What does it mean
What does it mean

Everything

The Thriae were nymphs
Of the Corycian Springs
With woman-like heads
And bodies bees with wings
They taught Apollo divination
Eating lots of honey
The crowd of Delphi laughed
At Thalia doing something funny
When Melpomene puts on her tragic mask
Cleo tells the history before you have to ask

What does it mean
What does it mean
What does it mean
What does it mean

Everything

Apollo fathered Orpheus
With Calliope
He gave him a lyre
And she taught him poetry
When Orpheus sang
It charmed the animals and trees
But he couldn't save his love from death
His poor Eurydice
His mourning was insane and he never recovered
So Maenads cut his head off for denying them a lover

What does it mean
What does it mean
What does it mean
What does it mean

Everything

Odysseus loves his dear Penelope
He comes back to her
Not revealing his identity
Penelope's surrounded
By thousands of suitors
But she wants to have the best
Archery shooter
Odysseus wins the contest disguised like a beggar
Then Athena comes and helps him kill all of his lessors

Since fine-throned Urania
Has sent me from Pieria
A golden cargo-boat laden
With glorious songs
To win the love of Terpsichore
We must dance the story
Like grasshoppers do
When they translate Euterpe
Invoking Erato and Polymnia to combine
Sacred with erotica
A cult that is divine

What does it mean
What does it mean
What does it mean
What does it mean

Everything

Come come
Come up the Sacred Way come
Come come
Come up the Sacred Way come
Up where the wolf's howl
Is hidden from the sun
Come come
Parnassian Oread's will be done
Nine Muses' will be done
Up where the wolf's howl is hidden from the sun
If you take a road the Sacred Way's the one
To the Temple of Apollo
Where the Oracle can see
All of existence for all eternity

What does it mean
What does it mean
What does it mean

Everything
