The Gospel Truth I / Main Titles - Hercules

Lyrics

[NARRATOR, spoken] You go girls... [CALLIOPE, spoken] We are the muses Goddesses of the arts And proclaimers of heroes [TERPSICHORE, spoken] Heroes like Hercules [THALIA, spoken] Honey you mean Hunk-ules! Woohoo, I'd like to make some sweet music— [CALLIOPE, spoken] Our story actually begins long before Hercules Many eons ago (sung) Back when the world was new The planet Earth was down on its luck And everywhere gigantic brutes called Titans ran amok [THALIA] It was a nasty place! There was a mess wherever you stepped [CALLIOPE] Where chaos reigned and earthquakes and volcanoes never slept [THALIA, spoken] Woo! Say it, girlfriend! [MUSES] And then along came Zeus [CALLIOPE] He hurled his thunderbolt [MUSES] He zapped [THALIA] Locked those suckers in a vault [MUSES] They're trapped And on his own stopped chaos in its tracks And that's the gospel truth The guy was too type A to just relax [TERPSICHORE] And that's the world's first dish [THALIA, spoken] Yeah, baby [MELPOMENE] Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth [MUSES] Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble That's the gospel truth On Mount Olympus, life was neat And smooth as sweet vermouth Although, honey, it may seem imposs'ble That's the gospel truth
