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 haa ooh
Now he's a hot shot He's a hero
Here was a kid with his act down pat
From 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 vase)

From appearance fees and royalties
Our Herc had cash to burn
Now nouveau riche and famous
He could tell you
What the Grecian's urn

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
Is he bold?
No one braver
Is he sweet
Our favorite flavor
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 hot shot (he's a hero)

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