Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

Intro

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

Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo

Verse 1

Back in 1928 in Amazing Stories print

A writer named Nowlan cooked a future up in mint

Anthony Rogers a WWI vet in a mine

American radioactive caught in a cave-in bind

A whiff of strange gas put him fast to sleep

Four ninety-two years in a radioactive deep

He woke up in 2419 January the seventh strip

First sci-fi comic that ever flipped its lid

Pre-Chorus

Armageddon 2419 with the Airlords hoisted high

America in ruins underneath a foreign sky

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

Bop-shoo-bop

Verse 2

Wilma Deering there from page one

Lieutenant star-pilot under the sun

Rouge lips and a rocket tougher than steel

She'll shoot down a Mongol then take the wheel

Dr Huer with the snow-white hair

Builds disintegrators out of thin air

Black Barney that space pirate from Mars

Used to steal your cargo now he guards the stars

Pre-Chorus

Every launchpad every chrome retreat

Heroes of the future never miss a beat

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

Bop-shoo-bop

Verse 3

Killer Kane with the pencil-thin mustache

Used to love Wilma 'til Buck took her flash

Turned bad gone crime-lord king

Ardala Valmar on his arm the evil queen

Draconian royalty a black-lip kiss

Kane's moll Kane's dagger a venomous hiss

Han airlords in the sky with cities that float

Buck'll knock 'em down with one rebel boat

Bridge

Rocket packs and jump belts

Inertia-less and ray-gun welts

From the under-city to the asteroid sea

Grit of the twentieth for the twenty-fifth century free

Chorus

Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century A D

Spinnin' like a record on the Famous Funnies page

Buck Buck Rogers five hundred years late

But a hero's never early and a hero's never late

Bop-shoo-wop

Outro

If you get trapped in a cave

Oooo-eee-ooo

Just hold your breath and count to 2419

Buck saved the future daddy-o

And he's still savin' it on every late show

Ba-da-da Buck
