Zeus is loose among the maidens  
Hera is beside herself  
gets her toga, washes, straightens,  
grabs her scepter from the shelf.  
God of Thunder, is he really?  
He shall see some lightning bolts  
Hera's hardly touchy-feely  
when it comes to Zeus' faults

There! She finds him, in flagrante  
and with Hercules's mum  
Shameless, one might say he's flaunting  
Zeus says: Hera, let's be calm

That's who he is, king of Olympus.  
Had he more control of impulse,  
we'd have fewer demigods.

Then again, what are the odds?
