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 earn
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 the moxie, brains and spunk
From zero to hero a major hunk
Zero to hero and who'da thunk
Who put the "glad" in "gladiator"? (Hercules!)
Whose daring deeds are great theatre? (Hercules!)
Isn't he bold? (No one braver!)
Isn't he sweet? (Our favorite flavor!)
Hercules!, Hercules!
Hercules!, Hercules!
Hercules!, Hercules!
Bless my soul, Herc was on a roll: 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 (awww, yeah!)
Yes indeed!
