Song Lyrics

Bless my soul Herc was on a roll
Person of the week in every Greek opinion poll
What a pro Herc could stop a show
Point him at a monster and we are talking SRO

He was a no one
A zero , zero
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero
He was a kid with his act down pat
From zero to hero in no time flat
Zero to hero just like that

When he smiled the girls went wild
With oohs and ahhs
And they slapped his face on ev'ry vase
On every vase

From heroes fees and royalties
Our Herc had cash to burn
Now Nouveau Riche and famous
He could tell you
Whats a Grecian urn

Say amen and there he goes again
Sweet and undefeated
And an awesome 10 for 10
Folks lined up
Just to watch him flex
And his perfect package
In a a pair of pretty pecs

Hercie he comes he sees he conquers
Honey the crowds were going bonkers
He showed the moxie, brains, and spunk
From zero to hero a major hunk
From zero to hero and who'da thunk?

Who put the 'glad' in 'gladiator'? (Hercules!)
Whose daring deeds are great theatre? (Hercules!)
Isn't he bold? (No one braver!)
Isn't he sweet? (Our favorite flavor!)
Hercules! Hercules! (Hercules!)
Hercules! Hercules!
Hercules! Hercules!

Bless my soul Herc was on a roll
Undefeated
Riding high and the nicest guy
Not conceited

He was a nothing
A zero, zero
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero

He hit the heights a breakneck speed!
From zero to hero
Herc is a hero
Now he's a hero
Yes indeed!
