The Gospel Truth I / Main Titles
Alan Menken Lyrics

You go, girls

We are the muses
Goddesses of the arts
And proclaimers of heroes
Heroes like Hercules
Honey, you mean Hunkules
I'd like to make some sweet music of it
Our story actually begins long before Hercules
Many Aeons ago
Back when the world was new
The planet Earth was down on its luck
And everywhere gigantic brutes
Called Titans ran amok

It was a nasty place
There was a mess
Wherever you stepped
Where chaos reigned and
Earthquakes and volcanoes never slept

(And then along came Zeus)
He hurled his thunderbolt
(He zapped)
Locked those suckers in a vault
(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

And that's the world's first dish
Zeus tamed the globe
While still in his youth
Though, honey, it may seem impossible
That's the gospel truth

On Mount Olympus life was neat and
Smooth as sweet vermouth
Though, honey, it may seem impossible
That's the gospel truth
