Zero to Hero

[CALLIOPE]
Oh, yeah, yeah
Bless my soul, Herc was on a roll
Person of the week in every Greek opinion poll

[THALIA]
What a pro, Herc could stop a show
Point him at a monster and you're talkin' SRO

[CLIO]
He was a no one

[TERPSICHORE, MELPOMENE, ENSEMBLE]
A zero, zero

[TERPSICHORE]
Now he's a honcho

[ALL MUSES, ENSEMBLE]
He's a hero

[MELPOMENE]
Here was a kid with his act down pat

[ALL MUSES]
From zero to hero in no time flat

[ALL MUSES, ENSEMBLE]
Zero to hero

[ALL MUSES]
Just like that

[FAN I]
Can I get your autograph?

[FAN II]
Marry me, Hercules

[HERCULES]
Glory be, get a load of me
Halfway to Olympus and my rightful family
My exploits sure have pleased the plebes
My expanding entourage has grown as thick as Thebes

[PHIL]
He's an inferno, hot as blazes

[ALL MUSES]
Even the muses sing his praises

[HERCULES]
They put my portrait on a stamp

[PHIL]
See how he lights up

[PHIL, ALL MUSES]
Like a lamp

[ALL MUSES, ENSEMBLE]
Zero to hero

[HERCULES]
Chump to champ

[CALLIOPE, CLIO, THALIA]
When he smiled, the girls went wild with
Oohs and ahhs

[MELPOMENE]
And they slapped his face on every vase

[TERPSICHORE]
On every "vahse"

[ALL MUSES]
From appearance fees and royalties
Our Herc had cash to burn
Now nouveau riche and famous

[CALLIOPE]
He could tell you what's a Grecian urn

[ALL MUSES, ENSEMBLE]
Say amen

[TERPSICHORE, CLIO]
There he goes again

[CLIO, CALLIOPE]
Sweet and undefeated

[TERPSICHORE]
And an awesome ten for ten

[ALL MUSES, ENSEMBLE]
Folks lined up

[ALL MUSES]
Just to watch him flex

[CLIO]
And this perfect package packed a pair of pretty pecs

[ALL MUSES]
Hercie, he comes he sees, he conquers
Honey, the crowds were going bonkers
He showed the moxie, brains and spunk
From zero to hero

[TERPSICHORE]
A major hunk

[ALL MUSES]
Zero to hero
And who'da thunk?

[PHIL]
Who put the glad in gladiator?

[ENSEMBLE]
Hercules

[PHIL]
Whose daring deeds are great theater?

[ENSEMBLE]
Hercules

[PHIL]
Is he bold?

[ENSEMBLE]
No one braver

[PHIL]
Is he sweet?

[ENSEMBLE]
Our favorite flavor

[PHIL, ENSEMBLE]
Hercules
Hercules
Hercules
Hercules

[ALL MUSES]
We got what you want
We got, we got what you want
We got what you want
We got, we got Hercules
We got what you want
We got, we got what you want
We got what you want
We got, we got Hercules
Work it, Herc
Work it, work it, Herc
Work it, Herc
Work it, work it, Hercules

[CALLIOPE, MELPOMENE, CLIO]
Oh
Bless my soul

[ALL MUSES]
Hey, he's a hero
Hercules (Hercules)
Hercules (Oh, baby)
Herc is the one you need
Herc is the one you need

[ALL MUSES, ENSEMBLE]
Oh, bless my soul
Herc was on a roll
Undefeated
Riding high

[PHIL]
And the nicest guy

[ALL MUSES, ENSEMBLE]
Not conceited
He was a nothing, now he's a honcho
He hit the heights at breakneck speed
From zero to hero, Herc is a hero
Now he's a hero
Yes, indeed
Zero to hero
Zero to hero
