Intro
Five four three two one
Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo
Verse 1
Back in twenty-eight in a pulp magazine
A writer cooked a future up it hadn't been seen
Anthony Rogers caught in a cave-in deep
1928 and a radioactive sleep
A whiff of strange gas put him out for keeps
Four-ninety-two years in the mineral heap
Woke up in 2419 with a jump on his feet
First sci-fi comic that ever turned the street
Pre-Chorus
It was Armageddon 2419
Airlords of Han comin' down the line
Chorus
Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century
Jump-belt flying with a ray-gun guaranteed
Buck Buck Rogers coming through the time
Wilma by his side and the future looking fine
(Bop-shoo-bop)
Verse 2
Now Wilma Deering right there from page one
Star-pilot's heart under a rising sun
Rocket in her hand and metal in her tone
She'll chase down a raider then fly it home
And Dr. Huer with that snow-white crown
Builds disintegrators when the sun goes down
Black Barney the pirate from the Martian sea
Used to lift your cargo now he sets you free
Pre-Chorus
Killer Kane with his thin mustache line
Ardala's dagger and her black-lip shine
Chorus
Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century
Jump-belt flying with a ray-gun guaranteed
Buck Buck Rogers coming through the time
Wilma by his side and the future looking fine
(Bop-shoo-bop)
Bridge
Oh rocket packs and jump belts on
Oh inertia-less till the break of dawn
From the under-city to the asteroid glow
Teachin' old-time grit to the future row
Big Chorus
Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century
(Say it again now)
Spinning like a record on the funny page
Buck Buck Rogers five hundred years late
A hero's never early that's the fate
(Bop-shoo-wop)
Outro
If you get caught in a cave
(Oooo-eee-ooo)
Hold your breath and count to 2419
He saved the future daddy-o
Still saving it on every late show
Buck
