The Man from 2419

Intro

Five four three two one

Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo

Verse 1

Back in twenty-eight in a pulp magazine

A writer cooked a future up it hadn't been seen

Anthony Rogers caught in a cave-in deep

1928 and a radioactive sleep

A whiff of strange gas put him out for keeps

Four-ninety-two years in the mineral heap

Woke up in 2419 with a jump on his feet

First sci-fi comic that ever turned the street

Pre-Chorus

It was Armageddon 2419

Airlords of Han comin' down the line

Chorus

Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century

Jump-belt flying with a ray-gun guaranteed

Buck Buck Rogers coming through the time

Wilma by his side and the future looking fine

(Bop-shoo-bop)

Verse 2

Now Wilma Deering right there from page one

Star-pilot's heart under a rising sun

Rocket in her hand and metal in her tone

She'll chase down a raider then fly it home

And Dr. Huer with that snow-white crown

Builds disintegrators when the sun goes down

Black Barney the pirate from the Martian sea

Used to lift your cargo now he sets you free

Pre-Chorus

Killer Kane with his thin mustache line

Ardala's dagger and her black-lip shine

Chorus

Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century

Jump-belt flying with a ray-gun guaranteed

Buck Buck Rogers coming through the time

Wilma by his side and the future looking fine

(Bop-shoo-bop)

Bridge

Oh rocket packs and jump belts on

Oh inertia-less till the break of dawn

From the under-city to the asteroid glow

Teachin' old-time grit to the future row

Big Chorus

Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century

(Say it again now)

Spinning like a record on the funny page

Buck Buck Rogers five hundred years late

A hero's never early that's the fate

(Bop-shoo-wop)

Outro

If you get caught in a cave

(Oooo-eee-ooo)

Hold your breath and count to 2419

He saved the future daddy-o

Still saving it on every late show

Buck
