5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo
Verse 1
Back in twenty-eight in Amazing Stories pulp
A writer named Nowlan cooked a future up
Anthony Rogers WWI vet in a mine
American radioactive caught in a cave-in bind
A whiff of strange gas put him fast asleep
Four ninety-two years in the radioactive deep
He woke up in two-four-nineteen January the seventh
First sci-fi hero to ever shake up heaven
Chorus
Buck Buck Rogers in the twenty-fifth century
Jump-belt flying with a ray-gun on his knee
Buck Buck Rogers coming through time
Wilma by his side and the future looking fine
(bop-shoo-bop bop-shoo-bop)
Verse 2
Wilma Deering was there from page one
Lieutenant and star-pilot with a smoking gun
Rouge lips and a rocket tougher than the rest
She'll take down an airlord then steal the nest
Dr. Huer that genius with the snow-white hair
Builds disintegrators out of thin air
Black Barney the pirate from the red planet
Used to steal your cargo now he's all in on it
Pre-Chorus
Armageddon twenty-four-nineteen
The sequel Airlords of Han
America in ruins
Under a foreign hand
Chorus
Buck Buck Rogers in the twenty-fifth century
Jump-belt flying with a ray-gun on his knee
Buck Buck Rogers coming through time
Wilma by his side and the future looking fine
(bop-shoo-bop bop-shoo-bop)
Bridge
Killer Kane with that pencil-thin mustache
Loved Wilma 'til Buck came through the flash
Went bad went crime-lord went all the way
With Ardala the Draconian queen of decay
Ah the rocket packs and jump-belts
Ah the inertia-less and the ray-gun welts
From the under-city to the asteroid sea
He's teaching twentieth grit to the twenty-fifth free
Chorus
Buck Buck Rogers in the twenty-fifth century
Jump-belt flying with a ray-gun on his knee
Buck Buck Rogers five hundred years late
But a hero's never early so a hero's never late
(bop-shoo-bop bop-shoo-wop)
Outro
Well if you get trapped in a cave
(ooo-eee-ooo)
Just hold your breath and count to twenty-four-nineteen
Buck Rogers saved the future daddy-o
And he's still saving it on every late show
Ba-da-da Buck Rogers
Ba-da-da Buck
Oooo-eee-ooo
