[Verse 1]
CI've called PeGrsephone
By Em7the name purse-a-Dphone
CGreek goddesGses aren't what
You Em7grab when leaving Dhome
CMy phone's iGnside my purse
Purse-a-Em7phone would like it Dthere
Like Hades' Clair
I pray Greek Ggods don't see me
BEm7utchering names and Dnot believing
[Chorus]
But CI'll mispronounce and misG-accent for infinity
There Em7isn't much that you could Ddo to stop me
CSix pomegranate seeds, Gwinter in Greece
Em7Please don't visit Dme, Persephone
