[verse 1] Back in the day, he was the man, Saving the world with a gun in hand, A king of chaos, the hero we knew, But now it seems his glory days are through. [pre-chorus] Where’s the hero that we used to see? The one who kicked ass so effortlessly, Time’s moved on but legends never die, Duke, we’re waiting for your next battle cry. [chorus] Kick ass and chew bubblegum, Duke, we know you’re not done, The world needs you to rise again, So come on, Duke, and show us when, Kick ass and chew bubblegum, Duke Nukem, you’re the chosen one. [verse 2] From alien scum to pig cops in blue, No challenge too big for the man in shades so cool, But now the world has turned and changed its tune, Duke, we need you back, and it can’t be too soon. [pre-chorus] Where’s the hero that we used to see? The one who kicked ass so effortlessly, Time’s moved on but legends never die, Duke, we’re waiting for your next battle cry. [chorus] Kick ass and chew bubblegum, Duke, we know you’re not done, The world needs you to rise again, So come on, Duke, and show us when, Kick ass and chew bubblegum, Duke Nukem, you’re the chosen one. [bridge] In the shadows of the past, your legacy lives, A warrior’s heart is what the future needs, Rise up from the ashes, take back your throne, The king of badassery, let it be known. [chorus] Kick ass and chew bubblegum, Duke, we know you’re not done, The world needs you to rise again, So come on, Duke, and show us when, Kick ass and chew bubblegum, Duke Nukem, you’re the chosen one. [outro] When will you make your comeback, Duke? We’re waiting for you to break through, Kick ass and chew bubblegum, The legend lives on, you’re our number one.
