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 you're talking SRO
He was a no one
A zero, zero
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero
Here 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 aahs
And they slapped his face on every vase (on every vahse)

From appearance fees and royalties
Our Herc had cash to burn
Now nouveau riche and famous
He could tell you what's a Grecian earn

Say amen there he goes again
Sweet and undefeated and an awesome ten for ten
Folks lined up just to watch him flex
And this perfect package packed 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
Zero to hero and who'da thunk

Who put the glad in gladiator? (Hercules)
Whose daring deeds are great theater? (Hercules)
Isn't he bold?
Nobody braver, isn't he sweet our favorite flavor
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 nothin' a zero, zero
Now he's a honcho He's a hero
He hit the heights at breakneck speed
From zero to hero
Herc is a hero
Now he's a hero
Yes indeed
