Gospel Truth I (Mount Olympus)

[ALL MUSES]
We are the muses

[THALIA]
Your divine divas from Olympus

[CALLIOPE]
Your vocal assassins from Athens

[MELPOMENE]
Freaky

[TERPSICHORE]
Funky

[ALL MUSES]
And fiercely high-fashioned

Hello and hallelu
We are the muses welcoming you
We are your girl group goddesses
And your Greek chorus too

[MELPOMENE]
We're here to tell the tale

[THALIA]
We won't leave out the juiciest parts

[ALL MUSES]
And while we're at it
Sing and dance our way into your hearts
And that's the gospel truth

[CLIO]
We're gonna spill some tea

[THALIA, TERPSICHORE, MELPOMENE]
It's hot

[CALLIOPE]
Fill you in on destiny

[MELPOMENE, CALLIOPE]
The plot

[THALIA]
You never know what lies in store for you

[TERPSICHORE]
Fate can twist and turn so quick

[ALL MUSES]
And play a trick or two

[CALLIOPE]
Your life can change like that

[CLIO]
From bitter grapes to sweet as vermouth

[ALL MUSES, GODS]
Though, honey, it may seem impossible
That's the gospel truth

[THALIA]
Today, we'll tell you a tale of destiny

[CALLIOPE]
The tale of Hercules

[MELPOMENE]
Girl, you mean Hunkules

[TERPSICHORE]
Give that brother a bandage, he is cut

[CLIO]
Our tale actually begins when Hercules does

[THALIA]
And, honey, we don't just serve back

[ALL MUSES]
We serve backstory too

[CLIO]
Back when the world was young

[CALLIOPE]
Zeus made the Earth a smashing success

[CLIO]
And all the gods holed up on Mount Olympus

[ALL MUSES, GODS]
Nice address

[TERPSICHORE]
Zeus thought he had it all

[MELPOMENE]
All he could ever dream of was his

[THALIA]
And then, at last, a son to carry on the family biz

[ALL MUSES, ALL MUSES, GODS]
They named him Hercules

[MELPOMENE]
They knew he was a special boy

[ALL MUSES, GODS]
So bright

[CLIO]
A paragon

[TERPSICHORE]
The real McCoy

[ALL MUSES, GODS]
That's right

[CALLIOPE]
This gorgeous tot was strong as he could be

[THALIA]
He hit the jackpot

[ALL MUSES]
Crushing the genetic lottery
And all the gods went wild (Woo)
To celebrate this miracle child

[ALL MUSES, GODS]
Though, honey, it may seem impossible
That's the gospel truth

[ALL MUSES, GODS]
And so you best believe (And so you best believe)
Our boy was born to overachieve (Overachieve)

[ALL MUSES]
The glitterati couldn't wait to celebrate this youth

[CALLIOPE]
Though, honey, it may seem impossible

[ALL MUSES, GODS]
That's the gospel truth

[ALL MUSES, ALL MUSES, GODS]
Yeah, that's the gospel truth
Yeah, that's the gospel truth
Woah, and that's the gospel truth
