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
