D.O.A.

Seen plenty of people all over the years

From heroes to half-bloods,

With their pitiful tears

Thinkin' that they'll save a loved one

From below

ENSEMBLE

Oh no, oh no! Oh no!

CHARON

They think they'll pop down for a quick trip

JAMES BROWN

But it don't work like that!

CHARON

So kids

Here's a tip

You ain't gettin' out

We gotcha and we ain't lettin' go

ENSEMBLE

Oh no! Oh no!

CHARON

Down here you're D.O.A.

And you're here to stay

Yeah, you're stuck forever

Never get away

No hope of survival

You're dead on arrival!

(Spoken)

What do you think of my song?

ANNABETH (spoken)

It's great.

PERCY (spoken)

Was that James Brown?

CHARON (spoken)

We have all the greats down here!

Mozart, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain.

Who do you feel like listening to?

GROVER (spoken)

Ooh! Um, do you have any Josh Groban?

CHARON (spoken)

Mm. We will. Eventually.

(Sung)

I ferry the souls of the newly deceased

I got a sweet ride, it was newly leased!

And if the dead complain, I just

Turn up the stereo

ENSEMBLE

Come sail away, come sail away

JANIS JOPLIN

We get our kicks 'cross the River Styx

KURT COBAIN

It's a permanent trip, so don't try no tricks

MOZART

Gentleman and ladies,

It's Hades who runs the show

CHARON (spoken)

(Chuckles) Oh, look, it's the Vienna Boys' Choir.

They crashed their bus on the way to sing for the Vatican.

GROVER (spoken)

They're kids.

CHARON (spoken)

They're lucky!

Their voices will never change now.

VIENNA BOYS' CHOIR (sung)

Eins, zwei, drei

Down here you're D.O.A.

And you're here to stay

Yeah, you're stuck forever

Never get away

No hope of survival

CHARON (spoken)

You're dead!

Who has two turntables and

Three sick heads?

Everybody give it up for D.J. Cerberus!

ENSEMBLE

D.O.A.

D.O.A.

CHARON

Down here you're D.O.A.

And you're here to stay

Yeah, you're stuck forever

Never get away

No hope of survival

You're dead on arrival!

Dead on arrival

ENSEMBLE

Can't get, can't get away

(Oooh)

Yeah!

Can't get away 'cause you're D.O.A. now

Can't get, can't get away

D.O.A., D.O.A.

You ain't ever gonna save what matters

Can't get, can't get away

Can't get away 'cause you're D.O.A. now

Can't get, can't get away

D.O.A.

You ain't gonna protect your friends

Can't get, can't get away

Can't get away 'cause you're D.O.A. now

Can't get, can't get away

D.O.A.

You ain't ever gonna be remembered

Can't get, can't get away

Can't get away 'cause you're D.O.A. now

Can't get, can't get away

D.O.A.

This is where your story ends today

ALL

D.O.A.!
