5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo!
Verse 1
Back in 1928 on the pulp page
A writer cooked up a future age
Anthony Rogers in a mine shaft fell
A whiff of strange gas rang the bell
Almost five centuries in the deep
He woke up in 2419
America ruined under foreign hands
The first sci-fi comic across the land
Pre-Chorus
Armageddon hit and the sequel came
Buck got the glory
Buck got the fame
CHORUS
Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century
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 bop-shoo-wop
Verse 2
Wilma Deering from page one
Lieutenant star-pilot with a silver gun
Rouge lips and a rocket tougher than steel
She'll shoot a Mongol down then steal the wheel
And Dr. Huer with the snow-white hair
Builds disintegrators out of thin air
Black Barney the pirate from Mars
Used to steal your cargo now he guards the stars
Pre-Chorus
From the Under-City to the asteroid sea
Buck got the glory
Buck got the glory with me
CHORUS
Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century
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 bop-shoo-wop
BRIDGE
Ohhh rocket packs and jump belts
Ohhh inertia-less and ray-gun welts
Killer Kane got that pencil-thin mustache
Ardala on his arm and she moves fast
He went bad and he went far
Now he's crashin' down on a rebel star
CHORUS
Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century
Spinnin' like a record on the funny page
Buck Buck Rogers five hundred years late
But a hero's never early and a hero's never late
Bop-shoo-bop bop-shoo-wop
OUTRO
If you get trapped in a cave
Oooo-eee-ooo
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
