Jump Belt to the Future

Intro

Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo

Five four three two one

Here he comes

Verse 1

Back in 1928 there was a pulp magazine

A writer cooked a future up from a cave-in dream

Anthony Rogers was a vet who fell asleep

A whiff of radioactive gas buried him deep

He woke up in 2419 with the world brand new

First sci-fi hero that the comic pages knew

Armageddon 2419 and Airlords of Han

America in pieces under a foreign hand

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 the time

Wilma by his side and tomorrow lookin fine

Bop-shoo-bop bop-shoo-wop

Verse 2

Wilma Deering there from the very first page

Lieutenant star pilot heart of a Tommy gun sage

Rouge lips and a rocket tougher than steel

She'll shoot down the sky kings then grab the wheel

And 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

Oh the future is a big wide open door

And he's gonna walk right through it once more

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 the time

Wilma by his side and tomorrow lookin fine

Bop-shoo-bop bop-shoo-wop

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 old school grit to a galaxy

Chorus

Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century A D

Spinnin like a record on the Funnies 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 just hold your breath

Count to 2419 and beat old death

Buck saved the future daddy-o

And he's still savin it on every late show

Oooo-eee-ooo-ooo Ba-da-da Buck
