One Last Hope

歌詞

So you wanna be a hero, kid, well, Whoop-de-do I have been around the block before With blockheads just like you Each and every one a disappointment Pain ay! for which there ain't no ointment So much for excuses Though a kid of "Zeus" is Askin' me to jump into the fray My answer is two words Okay "Ooh! you win" "Oh, gods" "Oy vey" I'd given up hope that someone would come along A fella who'd ring the bell for once Not the gong The kind 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… 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 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 paintin’ 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 pushin’ that envelope You’re my one last hope And, kid, it’s up to you Yeah!
