Lyrics
1987 version= Life is like a hurricane Here in Duckburg Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes It's a duck-blur! Might solve a mystery Or rewrite history!

DuckTales! Woo-hoo! Every day they're out there making DuckTales! Woo-hoo! Tales of derring-do Bad and good luck tales!

D-d-d-danger! Lurks behind you! There's a stranger out to find you What to do, just grab on to some...

DuckTales! Woo-hoo! Every day they're out there making DuckTales! Woo-hoo! Tales of derring-do Bad and good luck tales! Woo-hoo!
