Lyrics
So, ya wanna be a hero, kid? Well, whoop-de-do! I have been around the block before With blockheads just like you

Each and ev'ryone a disappointment Pain for which there ain't no ointment So much for excuses Though a kid of Zeus is Asking me to jump into the fray My answer is two words - O.K. You win Oh gods Oy vay!

I'd given up hope that someone would come along A fellow who'd ring the bell for once <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Not the gong <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">The kind who wins trophies <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Won't settle for low fees <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">At least semi-pro fees <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">But no - I get the greenhorn

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I've been out to pasture pal, my ambition gone <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Content to spend lazy days and to graze my lawn <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">But you need an advisor <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">A satyr, but wiser <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">A good merchandiser <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">And oohh! <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">There goes my ulcer!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I'm down to one last hope <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">And I hope it's you <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Though, kid, you're not exactly <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">A dream come true <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I've trained enough turkeys <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Who never came through <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You're my one last hope <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">So you'll have to do

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Demigods have faced the odds <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">And ended up a mockery <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Don't believe the stories <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">That you read on all the crockery

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I'm down to one last shoot <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">And my last high note <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Before that blasted Underworld <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Gets my goat <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">My dreams are on you, kid <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Go make 'em come true <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Climb that uphil slope <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Keep pushing that envelope <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You're my one last hope <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">And, kid, it's up to you
