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
