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-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 ponytails or cottontails, no
DuckTales! Woo-oo!

Life is like a candy cane,
Here in Duckburg
Snowflakes, presents, Santa's sleigh,
It's a duck-blur!
Might make bells jingle,
Or trap Kris Kringle!

Christmas Eve we're out there makin'
DuckTales!
Tales of Christmas Past and Yuletide
Luck tales!
