Intro - Theremin + Countdown
Five four three two one
Oooo-eee-ooo-eee-ooo
Verse 1
Back in 1928 on the pulp magazine rack
A writer named Nowlan cooked the future up black
Anthony Rogers war vet stuck in a mine
That radioactive air took him out of time
A whiff of strange gas put him under deep
Four hundred ninety-two years in a radioactive sleep
He woke in 2419 on a January strip
First sci-fi comic that ever flipped its lid
Armageddon 2419 and the Airlords of Han
America in ruins under a foreign hand
Pre-Chorus
Rocket ships and ray guns
Jump belts and silver suns
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-bop
Post-Chorus
Oooo-eee-ooo the future's callin'
Oooo-eee-ooo no time for fallin'
Verse 2
Wilma Deering there from page one
Lieutenant star-pilot heart of a Tommy gun
Rouge lips a rocket tougher than steel
She'll shoot down a Mongol then take the wheel
Dr. Huer the genius with 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
Losers turn to heroes
When the future's in arrears
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-bop
Post-Chorus
Oooo-eee-ooo the future's callin'
Oooo-eee-ooo no time for fallin'
Bridge
Rocket packs and jump belts
Inertia-less and ray-gun welts
From the under-city to the asteroid sea
20th century grit for the 25th century free
Big Chorus - Key Change
Buck Buck Rogers in the 25th century
Spinnin' like a record on the funny pages
Buck Buck Rogers five hundred years past
A hero's never early and a hero's never last
Bop-shoo-bop bop-shoo-bop
Outro - Surf Guitar Fade
If you get trapped in a cave
Oooo-eee-ooo
Just hold your breath and count to 2419
Oooo-eee-ooo
Buck saved the future daddy-o
Still savin' it on every late show
Ba-da-da Buck
