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
