Rode in through the Urals from way out East
Travelling on Horse was a torrid time
Gabby kissing a Redshirt is what you like the least
Black Powder covers you in grime
I'm back in Greece again!
You don't know how lucky you are, Greeks!
Back in Greece again!

Been away from the Aegean Sea way too long
Gods, it's good to be back home
I'll unpack my lute and give you a song
While Gabby writes a new poem
I'm back in Greece again!
You don't know how lucky you are Greeks
Back in - Back in - Back in - Greece again!

Well the girls from Thrace really knock me out
They leave the rest behind
And Athenian girls make me sing and shout
But Corinth's always on my m-m-m-m-mind!

I'm back in Greece again!
You don't know how lucky you are, Greeks
Back in Greece again!

Well the girls from Thrace really knock me out
They leave the rest behind
And Athenian girls make me sing and shout
But Corinth's always on my m-m-m-m-m-mind!

Show me round Mount Olympus in the clouds above
Take me to Ares' Halls of War
I want to see 'Dite in her chambre of Lurve
No Greek could ask for anything more!
I'm back in Greece again!
You don't know how lucky you are, Greeks
Back in Greece again!
