Intro - Theremin + Countdown
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo!
Verse 1
Back in 28 in a pulp magazine
A writer cooked up a rocket-fuel-d dream
Tony Rogers, a WWI man in a mine
Caught in a cave-in, runnin' out of time
A strange breath of gas put him under
492 years of radioactive wonder
Woke up to a future shiny and wild
The very first space flight of a comic-book child
It was Armageddon 2419 and the sequel Airlords of Han
America in ruins under a foreign hand
Chorus
Buck! Buck Rogers! 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)
Post-Chorus
Ah-ah-ah, rocket man
Ah-ah-ah, future pan
Ah-ah-ah, grab your hand
Buck Rogers lands!
Verse 2
Wilma Deering was there from day one
Lieutenant, star-pilot, always on the run
Scarlet lips and a jet that hums
She'll blast a sky pirate then steal the plum
And Dr. Huer with that cloud-white hair
Cooks up inventions out of thin air
Barney the Martian, black-eyed and true
Used to rob the stars, now he flies 'em for you
Pre-Chorus
Kane's got a grudge and a laser grin
Ardala's got poison on her chin
But the future's bright when Buck walks in
Chorus
Buck! Buck Rogers! 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)
Post-Chorus
Ah-ah-ah, rocket man
Ah-ah-ah, future pan
Ah-ah-ah, grab your hand
Buck Rogers lands!
Bridge
Rocket packs and jump belts
Inertia-less and ray-gun welts
From the Under-City to the asteroid sea
20th century grit meets the century free
Big Chorus
Buck! Buck Rogers! In the 25th century A.D.! (in the 25th!)
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 - Surf Guitar Fade
If you get trapped in a cave (ooo-eee-ooo)
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!
