Zero to Hero Songtext
von Sounds of Blackness

Oh yeah!

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, 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 ev'ry vase (on ev′ry "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 undefeated, and an awesome ten for ten
Folks lined up just to watch him flex
And this perfect package packed a pair of pretty pecs (ow!)

Hercie, he comes, he sees, he conquers
Honey, the crowds were goin' bonkers
He showed the moxie, brains and spunk (yeah!)
From zero to hero, a major hunk
Zero to hero, and who′da thunk?

Who put the "glad" in gladiator? Hercules!
Whose darin' deeds are great theater? Hercules!
Isn′t he bold? (Nobody braver)
Is he sweet? (Our fav'rite flavor)

Hercules (mmm, my man), Hercules (Hercules)
Hercules, Hercules
Hercules, Hercules

Bless my soul, Herc was on a roll, undefeated
Ridin′ high, and the nicest guy not conceited

He was a nothin' (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 (oh yeah!)
Yes indeed!
