The Gospel Truth I

The Gospel Truth I is a song in Disney's Hercules which is sung by The Muses.

Lyrics:
[NARRATOR, spoken] You go girls...

[CALLIOPE, spoken] We are the muses Goddesses of the arts And proclaimers of heroes

[TERPSICHORE, spoken] Heroes like Hercules

[THALIA, spoken] Honey you mean Hunk-ules! Woohoo, I'd like to make some sweet music-

[CALLIOPE, spoken] Our story actually begins long before Hercules Many eons ago

(sung) Back when the world was new The planet earth was down on its luck And everywhere gigantic brutes called Titans ran amok

[THALIA] It was a nasty place! There was a mess where ever you stepped

[CALLIOPE] Where chaos reigned and earthquakes and volcanoes never slept

[THALIA, spoken] Woo! Sing it girlfriend

[ALL MUSES] But then along came Zeus!

[CALLIOPE] He hurled his thunderbolt

[ALL MUSES] He zapped-

[CALLIOPE] Locked those suckers in a vault

[ALL MUSES] They're trapped- And on his own stopped chaos in its track And that's the gospel truth The guy was too type A to just relax!

[TERPSICHORE] And that's the world's first dish

[THALIA, spoken] Yeah, baby

[MELPOMENE] Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth

[ALL MUSES] Though honey it may seem impossible That's the gospel truth! On Mt. Olympus life was neat And smooth as sweet vermouth Though honey it may seem impossible That's the gospel truth
