Let's go back to Ancient Greece now, and visit the gods on Mount Olympus. Hera, the queen of the gods, is not happy with her husband Zeus, or, more accurately, his many lovers. So what's she going to do about that?
Lyrics and Chords:
[C][F]
[G][G7][C]
[C]Hera was the queen of the [F]gods,
The [C]sister and the wife of [G]Zeus
Pro[F]tector of women, [Am]family and children,
And [G]owner of a [G7]very short [C]fuse
[C]Zeus had numerous [F]lovers
But [C]Hera always righted that [G]wrong
They [F]learned to their cost, the [Am]ones who crossed her
[G]Didn't [G7]last very [C]long
You'd [F]better not mess with a [C]goddess
You'd [G]better not mess with the [C]chief god's [C7]wife
[F]Don't mess with a [C]goddess
[G]If you [G7]value your [C]life
[F][C]
[G][G7][C]
Cal[C]listo and Zeus were [F]very good friends,
It made [C]Hera a deep shade of [G]green
In a [F]fit of rage we got [Am]Ursa Major
A [G]bear where a [G7]woman had [C]been
And if [C]you're on a date with her [F]husband,
You're [C]going to regret what you [G]did
You [F]might get fried by [Am]thunder and lightning,
Or [G]forced to [G7]kill your own [C]kids
You'd [F]better not mess with a [C]goddess
You'd [G]better not mess with the [C]chief god's [C7]wife
[F]Don't mess with a [C]goddess
[G]If you [G7]value your [C]life
[F][C]
[G][G7][C]
An [C]apple for the prettiest [F]goddess!
[C]Paris was the one with the [G]choice
Aphro[F]dite, Athena, and if [Am]you don't pick Hera
[G]Then it's [G7]bad news for [C]Troy
If you [C]didn't believe in her [F]beauty or
Thought [C]you were the fairest in[G]stead
You'd [F]find yourself, ladies, [Am]living with Hades
Or [G]snakes growing [G7]out of your [C]head
You'd [F]better not mess with a [C]goddess
You'd [G]better not mess with the [C]chief god's [C7]wife
[F]Don't mess with a [C]goddess
[G]If you [G7]value your [C]life
[C][F]
[C][G]
[F][Am]
[G][G7][C]
[C]Hera was the queen of the [F]gods,
[C]Faithful to Zeus all her [G]days,
Pro[F]tector of women, [Am]family and children,
As [G]long as they [G7]stayed out the [C]way
You'd [F]better not mess with a [C]goddess
You'd [G]better not mess with the [C]chief god's [C7]wife
[F]Don't mess with a [C]goddess
[G]If you [G7]value your [C]life
[F]Don't mess with a [C]goddess
[G]If you [G7]value your [C]life
[G][G7][C]
