One Last Hope

So, ya wanna be a hero, kid
 Well, whoop-dee-do
 I have been around the block before
 With blockheads just like you
 Each and everyone a disappointment
 Pain for which there ain't no ointment
 So much for excuses
 Though a kid of Zeus is
 Asking me to jump into the fray
 My answer is two words
 Okay, oh, oh
 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 wins trophies
 Won't settle for low fees
 At least semi-pro fees but no
 I get the greenhorn
 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 whoa
 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
 Comes 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 'em come true
 Climb that uphill slope
 Keep pushing that envelope
 You're my one last hope and, kid, it's up to you
 Yeah
