One Last Hope

So ya wanna be a hero kid Well whoop de do
I have been around the block before With block heads just like you
Each and ev'ryone 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
OK
Uff 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 green horn 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 oohh 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
Demi Gods 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 master piece 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 shoot And my last high note
Before that blasted under world Gets my goat
My dreams are on you kid
Go make 'em come true
Climb that uphil slope Keep pushing that envelope
You're my one last hope And kid it's up to you Yea
