Intro - Theremin + Countdown
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo!
Verse 1 - The Origin
Well back in 1928 in Amazing Stories pulp
A writer named Nowlan cooked a future up
Anthony Rogers WWI vet in a mine
American Radioactive caught in a cave-in bind
A whiff of strange gas put him fast asleep
492 years in a radioactive deep
He woke up in 2419 January 7th on the strip
First sci-fi comic that ever flipped its lid
It was Armageddon 2419 and the sequel Airlords of Han
America in ruins under a foreign hand
Chorus - All Hands, Doo-Wop
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 - The Good Guys
Well Wilma Deering was there from page one
Lieutenant star-pilot heart of a Tommy gun
Rouge lips and a rocket tougher than steel
She'll shoot down a Mongol then steal the wheel
And Dr. Huer the genius 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
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 - The Bad Guys
Now Killer Kane he got that pencil-thin mustache
Used to love Wilma 'til Buck took her stash
He went bad gone crime-lord king
With Ardala Valmar on his arm that evil queen
She's Draconian royalty a black-lip kiss of sin
Kane's moll Kane's dagger gonna do you in
Han airlords in the sky with cities that float
Buck'll knock 'em down with one rebel boat
Bridge - 70s Glam Breakdown - Half-time, Handclaps
Ohhh... rocket packs and jump belts!
Ohhh... inertia-less and ray-gun welts!
From the Under-City to the asteroid sea
He's teachin' 20th century grit to the 25th century free!
Big Chorus - Key Change
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
Well 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!
