The Gospel Truth Songtext

von Alan Menken

INSTRUMENTAL

You go girls
We are the muses.
Goddesses of the arts
And proclaimers of heroes.
Heroes like Hercules.
Honey, you mean Hunkules!
I'd like to make some sweet music of it

Our story actually begins long before Hercules
Many Aeons ago ...

Back when the world was new
The planet Earth was down on its luck
And everywhere gigantic brutes
Called Titans ran amok

It was a nasty place
There was a mess
Whereever you stepped
Where chaos reigned and
Earthquakes and volcanoes never slept

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
The guy was too type A to just relax

And that's the world's first dish
Zeus tamed the globe
While still in his youth
Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble
That's the gospel truth

On Mt. Olympus life was neat and
Smooth as sweet vermough
Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble
That's the gospel truth
