[00:02.00]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]
