Theme Song[]
Intro[]
Folksy Hal: Kids, shine your astro spurs and don your robot fists, 'cuz it's time for our (first) thrilling feature, Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars! Justice rides a rocket steed across the plans of the fourth planet, where one man brings fear to robots and aliens and hope to humans who make this frontier planet their home. He is Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars!
Sparks Nevada: I'm...from Earth.
Folksy Hal: With the help of his faithful Martian companion, Croach the Tracker.
Croach the Tracker: I am...from G'loot Praktaw.
Sparks Nevada: ...which is Mars
[They bicker]
Folksy Hal: Sparks Nevada rights the outlaw wrong on Mars!
Lyrics[]
- When there's varmints need a' catching
- And young 'uns need a' saving
- On my rocket steed I race across the stars
- For I've sworn by the burrs of my astro spurs
- to right the outlaw wrongs on Mars
- (Yes he rights the outlaw wrongs on Mars!)
- Oh the hypercattle's humming
- And the Marjun's savage drumming
- Are as beautiful as comet bugs in jars
- Oh I'm from Earth!
- But I right the outlaw wrongs on Mars
- (Yes he rights the outlaw wrongs on Mars!)
- On the plains of the red planet I uphold the law
- And I do it with a pair of robot fists
- (POW!)
- Evil extermination I have faced
- For my robot rogues they hardly ever miss!
- (Hardly ever miss!)
- And I reckon I'll be riding
- In the name of truth and justice
- For as long as I can count the shooting stars
- For I've sworn by the burrs of my astro spurs
- To right the outlaw wrongs on Mars
- (Yes he rights the outlaw wrongs on Mars!)
- And I'm from Earth!
