Zero to Hero From "Hercules" Music by: Alan Menken Lyrics by: David Zippel Performed by: Lillias White, Vaneese Thomas, Cheryl Freeman, La Chanze, Roz Ryan (the Muses) 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 talkin' S.R.O. He was a no one A zero, a zero Now he's a honcho He's a hero! He was a kid with his act down pat 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 "Vahse"! 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 underrated 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 goin' bonkers He showed the moxie brains and spunk From zero to hero A major hunk Zero to hero And who'd have thunk... Who put the glad in gladiator? Hercules! Who's darin' deeds are great theater? Hercules! Isn't he bold? No one braver! Is he sweet? Our favorite flavor! Hercules My man Hercules Hercules Hercules Look at my Hercules Hercules Hercules Bless my soul, Herc was on a roll Underrated, riding high And the nicest guy Not conceited He was a nothing, zero, zero Now he's a honcho, he's our hero! He hit the heights at breakneck speed From zero to hero Herc is a hero Now he's a hero Yes, indeed.
