1.A Star Is Born
Gonna shout it from the mountaintops
A star is born
It's a time for pulling out the stops
A star is born
Honey, hit us with a hallelu
The kid came shining through
Girl, sing the song
Come blow your horn
A star is born
He's a hero who can please the crowd
A star is born
Come on ev'rybody shout out loud
A star is born
Just remember in the darkest hour
Within your heart's the power
For making you
A hero too
So don't lose hope when you're forlorn
Just keep your eyes
Upon the skies
Ev'ry night a star is
Right in sight a star is
Burning bright a star is born
Like a beacon in the cold dark night
A star is born
Told ya ev'rything would turn out right
A star is born
Just when ev'rything was all at sea
The boy made history
The bottom line
He sure can shine
His rising sign is Capricorn
He knew 'how to'
He had a clue
Telling you a star is born
Here's a hero who can please the crowd
A star is born
Come on ev'rybody shout out loud
A star is born
Just remember in the darkest hour
Within your heart's the power
For making you
A hero too
So don't lose hope when you're forlorn
Just keep your eyes
Upon the skies
Ev'ry night a star is
Right in sight a star is
Burning bright a star is born
2.Go The Distance
I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a great warm welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I meant to be
I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong
I am on my way
I can go the distance
I don't care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to find where I belong
3.Go The Distance (Reprise)
I will beat the odds
I can go the distance
I will face the world
Fearless, proud, and strong
I will please the gods
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Right where I belong
4.I Won't Say (I'm In Love)
Lyricist：Alan Menken, David Zippel
If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that
Who do ya think you're kidding？
He's the earth and Heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and who you're thinking of
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no
You swoon, you sigh, why deny it？ Uh oh
It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in love
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming 'Get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out'
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you feel
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown up
When ya gonna own up that ya got, got, got it bad？
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no
Give up or give in, check the grin, you're in love
This scene won't play
I won't say I'm in love
You're doing flips read our lips
You're in love
You're way off base, I won't say it
Get off my case, I won't say it
Girl, don't be proud
It's okay, you're in love
Oh, at least out loud
I won't say I'm in love
5.One Last Hope
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 fo 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--
Not the gong
The kind who win trophies
Won't settle for low fees
At least semi-pro fees
But no--I get the green horn
I've been out to pasture
pal, my ambition gone
Content to spend lazy days and to graze
my lawn
But you need an advisor
A satyr, but wiser
A good merchandiser
And ohh!
There goes my ulcer!
I'm down to one last hope
And I hope it's you
Though, kid, you're not exactly
A dream come true
I've trained enough turkeys
Who never came through
You're my one last hope
So you'll have to do
Demigods have faced the odds
And ended up a mockery
Don't believe the stories
That you read on all the crockery
To be a true hero, kid, is
a dying art
Like painting a masterpiece,
it's a work of heart
It takes more than sinew
Come down to what's in you
You have to continue
To grow
Now that's more like it!
I'm down to one last shot
And my last high note
Before that blasted
Underworld
Gets my goat
My dreams are on you, kid
Go make them come true
Climb that uphill slope
Keep pushing that envelope
You're my one last hope
And, kid, it's up to you
6.The Gospel Truth 1
Back when the world was new
The planet earth was down on its luck
And ev'rywhere gigantic
brutes called Titans ran amok
It was a nasty place
There was a mess wherever you stepped
Where chaos reigned and earthquakes
and volcanoes never slept
And then along came Zeus
He hurled his thunderbolt
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
Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth
Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble
That's the gospel truth
On Mt. Olympus life was neat and smooth as sweet
vermouth
Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble
That's the gospel truth
7.The Gospel Truth 2
He ran the underworld
But thought the dead were dull and uncouth
He was as mean as he was ruthless
And that's the gospel truth
He had a plan to shake things up
And that's the gospel truth
8.The Gospel Truth3
Young Herc was mortal now
But since he did not drink the last drop
He still retained his godlike strength
So thank his lucky star
But Zeus and Hera wept
Because their son could never come home
They'd have to watch
their precious baby grow in front afar
Though Hades' horrid plan
Was hatched before Herc cut his first tooth
They boy grew stronger ev'ryday
and that's the gospel truth
9.Zero To Hero
Bless my soul
Herc was on a roll
Person of the week in ev'ry 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
Herc 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 grils 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
an' famous
He could tell you
What's a Grecian urn？
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 the-a-tre？
Hercules!
Is he bold？
No one braver
Is he sweet？
Our fav'rite flavor
Hercules, Hercules...
Bless my soul
Herc was on a roll
Undefeated
Riding 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
Yes, indeed!
