We are the muses... |
| [00:03.99] |
goddesses of the arts |
| [00:05.75] |
and proclaimers of heroes. |
| [00:08.28] |
Heroes like Hercules. |
| [00:10.08] |
Honey, you mean " Hunk-ules." |
| [00:12.74] |
Ooh, I'd like to make some sweet music with him-- |
| [00:16.43] |
Our story actually begins... |
| [00:19.32] |
long before Hercules... |
| [00:20.85] |
many eons ago. |
| [00:23.28] |
Back when the world was new |
| [00:26.24] |
The planet Earth was down on its luck |
| [00:29.34] |
And everywhere gigantic brutes called Titans ran amok |
| [00:35.47] |
It was a nasty place |
| [00:38.49] |
There was a mess wherever ya stepped |
| [00:41.63] |
Where chaos reigned and earthquakes |
| [00:43.62] |
and volcanoes never slept |
| [00:47.61] |
And then along came Zeus |
| [00:49.29] |
He hurled his thunderbolt - He zapped |
| [00:52.28] |
Locked those suckers in a vault - They're trapped |
| [00:55.19] |
And on his own stopped chaos in its tracks |
| [01:00.02] |
And that's the gospel truth |
| [01:01.43] |
The guy was too " Type A " to just relax |
| [01:06.00] |
And that's the world's first dish - Yeah, baby. |
| [01:09.05] |
Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth |
| [01:11.83] |
Though, honey it may seem impossible |
| [01:14.82] |
That's the gospel truth |
| [01:18.35] |
On Mount Olympus life was neat |
| [01:20.69] |
And smooth as sweet vermouth |
| [01:24.29] |
Although, honey it may seem impossible |
| [01:26.99] |
That's the gospel truth |
| [01:36.62] |
Oh,yeah,yeah |
| [01:40.28] |
Ah, ah |
| [01:42.43] |
Hey, hey, hey |
| [01:44.41] |
|
| [02:32.25] |
If there's one god you don't want |
| [02:35.41] |
to get steamed up, it's Hades. |
| [02:37.48] |
'Cause he had an evil plan. |
| [02:40.11] |
He ran the underworld |
| [02:44.28] |
But thought the dead were dull and uncouth |
| [02:48.47] |
He was as mean as he was ruthless |
| [02:52.10] |
And that's the gospel truth |
| [02:56.88] |
He had a plan to shake things up |
| [03:00.39] |
And that's the gospel truth |
| [03:07.66] |
|
| [03:17.35] |
Young Herc was mortal now |
| [03:22.36] |
But since he did not drink the last drop |
| [03:26.94] |
He still retained his godlike strength |
| [03:30.43] |
So thank his lucky stars |
| [03:36.12] |
But Zeus and Hera wept |
| [03:40.63] |
Because their son could never come home |
| [03:45.17] |
They'd have to watch their precious baby |
| [03:48.94] |
Grow up from afar |
| [03:54.28] |
Though Hades'horrid plan |
| [03:58.92] |
Was hatched before Herc cut his first tooth |
| [04:03.50] |
The boy grew stronger every day |
| [04:07.46] |
And that's the gospel truth |
| [04:11.23] |
The gospel truth |
| [04:15.85] |
|
