Intro
Five... four... three... two... one
Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo
Verse 1
Back in 1928 a writer cooked it up
A war vet in a mine got his luck drunk up
Radioactive gas put him under for good
Nearly five hundred years in a sleeping hood
Woke in 2419 on a January strip
First comic in the cosmos to trip its lid
Armageddon 2419 with the country torn
Under airlord hands the future was worn
Pre-Chorus
Jump-belt high and ray-gun low
The century changed but the grit don't slow
Chorus
Buck Rogers in the 25th century AD
Flyin' through time on a leap of faith for me
Buck Rogers comin' through the silver screen
Wilma by his side and the future lookin' mean
Verse 2
Wilma Deering on the page from day one
Rocket pilot with a blazing sun
Tougher than steel with a borrowed grin
She'll take the sky then bring it back again
Dr. Huer with the snow-white flair
Builds disintegrators out of thin air
Black Barney the Martian space rover
Used to steal the stars now he guards her
Pre-Chorus
Rocket pack glove and the belt on tight
Darkness below but we ride the light
Chorus
Buck Rogers in the 25th century AD
Flyin' through time on a leap of faith for me
Buck Rogers comin' through the silver screen
Wilma by his side and the future lookin' mean
Bridge
Oh the villain wears a mustache thin
With a Draconian queen on his arm to win
From the under-city to the asteroid sea
He teaches old grit to the new century
Chorus
Buck Rogers five hundred years late
But a hero's never early never hesitates
Buck Rogers spinnin' on the page again
Every late show hums the same refrain
Outro
Oooo-eee-ooo
Count to 2419 and hold the line
Buck saved tomorrow on the last headline
And he's still out there through it all
Ba-da-da... Buck
