At age 68, with a pair of super speakers and a wife with a keen ear, I have transcribed the children's choir rendering, sung super unclearly, that thwarted even Engineer Bill's attempt to provide the lyrics on his show that hosted the Astro Boy series!
Even official lyrics simply are not correct. This is my perfected correct set of lyrics (IMHO). Don't ask Don Rockwell who wrote the English lyrics for the show, he won't answer because I think he is dead?
Beginning Song:
There you go, Astro Boy,
On your flight into space.
Rocket high, through the sky,
What adventures soon you will make!
Astro Boy bombs away,
On your mission today.
Here's the count-down
And a blastoff,
Everything is go, Astro Boy!
Astro Boy, as you fly,
Strange new worlds you will find.
Atom-celled, jet-propelled,
Fighting monsters high in the sky!
Astro Boy, there you go,
Will you fight friend or foe?
Cosmic ranger, laugh at danger,
Everything is go, Astro Boy.
Crowds will cheer you,
You're a hero,
As you go, go, go, Astro Boy!
End Song:
(when the children's choir finishes the credits after the orchestra plays...)
Astro Boy says okay,
(For years, I thought it could be "Astro Boy did okay,")
On your flight into space.
What can I do, to be like you?
And become a real Astro Boy!
