Duck Dodgers In The 24th & One Half Century
Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones
But how would the universe survive?
For long they were out of luck,
But now they're saved by the duck.
Duck Dodgers of the 24 and ½ century,
Defending the powerless and the weak.
Duck Dodgers of the 24 and ½ century,
The fighter of Martian tyranny.
Oh, but he's the duck of persuasion.
All soon made decisions soon dissolve
A definite duck beyond all temptation
Ensuring the universe still revolves.
Space is such a lonely place to this duck
But it's not lonely for this duck.
For hordes of Martians run
When he shoots his duckbilled laser gun.
Duck Dodgers of the 24 and ½ century
Protecting the powerless and the weak.
Duck Dodgers he's fighting tyranny
In the 24 and ½ century
