Zero to Hero
Lyrics from Hercules
Music and lyrics by Alan Menken and David Zippel
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 S.R.O!
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 VASE
From appearance fees and royalties
Our Herc had cash to burn
Now nouveau riche and famous
He could tell you what's a Grecian urn!
Say amen - there he goes again!
Sweet and undefeated and an awesome 10 for 10!
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 them moxie, brains and spunk!
From zero to hero - a major hunk!
Zero to hero - and who'd have thunk?
Who puts 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!
(My man!)
Hercules!
Hercules!
Hercules!
Hercules!
Hercules!
Bless my soul, Herc was on a role - undefeated!
Riding high, and the nicest guy - not conceited!
He was a nothing - 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
