Lyrics

[Intro]
You go, girl
We are the muses
Goddesses of the arts
And proclaimers of heroes
Heroes like Hercules
Honey, you mean Hunk-ules!
Ooh, I'd like to make some sweet music with him
Our story actually begins long before Hercules
Many eons ago
[Verse 1]
Back when the world was new
The planet Earth was down on its luck
And everywhere, gigantic brutes
Called Titans ran amok
[Verse 2]
It was a nasty place
There was a mess wherever you stepped
Where chaos reigned
And earthquakes and volcanoes never slept
Ooh, say it, girlfriend
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
The guy was too Type A to just relax
And that's the world's first dish (Yeah, baby)
Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth
Though, honey, it may seem impossible
That's the gospel truth
[Verse 5]
On Mount Olympus
Life was neat and smooth
As sweet vermouth
Oh, though, honey it may seem impossible
That's the gospel truth
