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-oo!

Every day they're out there making

DuckTales! Woo-oo!

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-oo!

Every day they're out there making

DuckTales! Woo-oo!

Tales of derring-do

Bad and good luck tales! Woo-oo!

Not pony tales or cotton tales, no
