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
