Lyrics

Intro - Theremin and countdown

5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo!

Verse 1

Back in 1928 in Amazing Stories pulp

A writer named Nowlan cooked a future up

Anthony Rogers a WWI vet in a mine

American radioactive caught in a cave-in bind

A whiff of strange gas put him fast asleep

492 years in a radioactive deep

He woke in 2419 January 7th on the strip

First sci-fi comic that ever flipped its lid

Pre-Chorus

Armageddon 2419

Airlords of Han on the line

Chorus

Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century A D

Jump-belt flyin with a ray-gun on his knee

Buck Buck Rogers comin through time

Wilma by his side and the future lookin fine

Verse 2

Well Wilma Deering was there from page one

Lieutenant star-pilot heart of a Tommy gun

Rouge lips and a rocket tougher than steel

She'll shoot down a Mongol then steal the wheel

Doctor Huer the genius with the snow-white hair

Builds disintegrators out of thin air

And Black Barney that space pirate from Mars

Used to steal your cargo now he guards the stars

Pre-Chorus

Jump belts and blasters

The future's our disaster

Chorus

Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century A D

Jump-belt flyin with a ray-gun on his knee

Buck Buck Rogers comin through time

Wilma by his side and the future lookin fine

Bridge

Ohhh rocket packs and jump belts

Ohhh inertia-less and ray-gun welts

From the Under-City to the asteroid sea

He's teachin 20th century grit to the 25th century free

Verse 3

Killer Kane he got that pencil-thin mustache

Used to love Wilma till Buck took her stash

He went bad gone crime-lord king

With Ardala Valmar on his arm that evil queen

Hook

Buck Buck Buck

Five hundred years of luck

Chorus

Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century A D

Jump-belt flyin with a ray-gun on his knee

Buck Buck Rogers comin through time

Wilma by his side and the future lookin fine

Outro

If you get trapped in a cave

Just hold your breath and count to 2419

Buck Rogers saved the future daddy-o

And he's still savin it on every late show

Ba-da-da Buck
