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 ev'ryone a disappointment,
pain. for which there ain't no oiment.
So much fo excuses
though a kid of Zeus is
asking me to jump into the fray,
my answer is two words... OK.
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 kid who wins trophies,
won't settle for low fees,
at least semipro 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 oh!
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 trough.
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.
