Hércules
Susan Egan Lillias White LaChanze Roz Ryan Cheryl Freeman Vanéese Y. Thomas Lyrics

Bless my soul Herc was on a roll
I must say, Hercules was doing exceptionally well

Person of the week in every Greek opinion poll
He was the most popular amongst the Greeks and everyone loved him

What a pro Herc could stop a show
Hercules was so skilled that he could impress and entertain like no other

Point him at a monster and you're talking SRO
If you asked him to tackle a huge problem, people would flock to see him do it

He was a no one
Hercules was not known by anyone in the past

A zero, zero
His popularity was at an all-time low

Now he's a honcho
He is now a powerful and influential figure

He's a hero
He has emerged as the bravest and most praised personality

Here was a kid with his act down pat
Hercules was naturally talented and knew everything about his role

From zero to hero in no time flat
He gained fame and recognition in an extremely short span of time

Zero to hero just like that
He went from a nobody to a somebody instantly

When he smiled the girls went wild with oohs and aahs
The girls were smitten with him, and they reacted with amazement on his every little move

And they slapped his face on every vase (on every vahse)
He became so famous that people even made portraits of him and printed it on vases

From appearance fees and royalties
For his public engagements and contributions, Hercules had good compensation and would earn royalties

Our Herc had cash to burn
He was rich and had the capacity to spend money lavishly

Now nouveau riche and famous
He had gained sudden wealth, and it also earned him recognition

He could tell you what's a Grecian earn
He knew exactly how much money Greeks could earn at that time

Say amen there he goes again
People were excited to see him returning again

Sweet and undefeated and an awesome ten for ten
He was an attractive and undefeated person, who always performed exceptionally well

Folks lined up just to watch him flex
People eagerly gathered to see him show off his strength and skill

And this perfect package packed a pair of pretty pecs
He was a well-rounded individual with many impressive features, including a well-built chest

Hercie, he comes, He sees, he conquers
Hercules would arrive, assess the situation, and conquer every difficulty with ease

Honey, the crowds were going bonkers
People would go crazy seeing his performances

He showed the moxie brains, and spunk
He displayed his confidence, intelligence, and enthusiasm

From zero to hero a major hunk
He transformed from nothing to a muscular and attractive personality

Zero to hero and who'da thunk
No one thought that he would become famous and earn such respect and admiration

Who put the glad in gladiator? (Hercules)
Who made gladiators cheerful and proud? A rhetorical question pointing out that Hercules is the motivation

Whose daring deeds are great theater? (Hercules)
Whose brave actions are an excellent source of entertainment? Hercules, and it's commendable

Isn't he bold?
He is courageous and unafraid of anything

Nobody braver, isn't he sweet our favorite flavor
No one can ever be braver than him, and he is also everyone's favorite despite being humble

Hercules, Hercules
People cheered him with his own name

Bless my soul Herc was on a roll
Once again, everyone was impressed with how well Hercules was doing

Undefeated
He had not experienced any defeat

Riding high and the nicest guy
He was feeling quite confident and was also genuinely kind and courteous

Not conceited
He was not arrogant or self-centered

He hit the heights at breakneck speed
He achieved great things very quickly and efficiently

Herc is a hero
Hercules has become an exceptionally brave and admired personality

Now he's a hero
He has transformed into an iconic and celebrated figure

Yes indeed
That's right and I agree.
