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
