The Gospel Truth I / Main Titles Songtext
von Lillias White, Cheryl Freeman, LaChanze, Roz Ryan, and Vaneese Thomas (The Muses)

(You go, girl)
We are the muses
Godesses of the arts and proclaimers of heros
Heros like Hercules
Honey, you mean Hunk-ules!
Whoo-hoo! I′d like to make some sweet music with this—
Our story actually begins long before Hercules, many eons ago
Ahh, yeah


Back when the world was new
And planet Earth was down on its luck
And everywhere, gigantic brutes called Titans ran amuck
It was a nasty place
There was a mess wherever you stepped
Where chaos raved, and earthquakes and volcanos never slept! (Whoo! Say it, girfriend!)

And then along came Zeus
He hurled his thunder bolt
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
(Yeah, baby!)
Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth
Though, honey, it may seem impossible, that′s the gospel truth


On Mt. Olympus, life was neat, and smooth as sweet vermouth
Ah!
Though, honey, it may seem impossible
That′s the gospel truth
