The Gospel Truth I 9Lillias White, LaChanze, Roz Ryan, Cheryl Freeman, Vanéese Y. Thomas)
[Narrator:] You go, girls ...
[Muses:] We are the muses. Goddesses of the arts and proclaimers of heroes. Heroes like Hercules. Honey, you mean Hunkules! I'd like to make some sweet music of it Our story actually begins long before Hercules Many Aeons ago ...
Back when the world was new The planet Earth was down on its luck And everywhere gigantic brutes called Titans ran amok
It was a nasty place There was a mess Whereever 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 vermough Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble That's the gospel truth
