One Last Hope

"**One Last Hope**" is a song sung by Philoctetes in the film *Hercules*.

## Lyrics

*So, ya wanna be a hero, kid?*

*Well, whoop-dee-doo!*

*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', asking me to jump into the fray*

*My answer is two words - O.K.*

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!
