Internet, thou has failed me: Wonder Woman season 2 lyrics

So I’m drawing a Wonder Woman themed pinup for an upcoming charity auction. Naturally, the theme song to the 70s TV show is stuck in my head, and I’ve played it a few times on YouTube — the original made of awesome opening, with tacky pop-art graphics and hippy-dippy (“stop a war with love”) lyrics, not the later, boring opening.

What I hadn’t realized until today, because despite this post I’m really not that interested in this show, is that there’s an intermediate opening, which was played for some of season 2, which has different (but still terrificly overwrought) lyrics.

And although I searched extensively, I couldn’t find the lyrics to this variant anywhere.

I ask you, how is that possible? The entire purpose of the internet is to make every pop-culture reference that people who were geeky children in the 70s and 80s might ever have heard not only available, but exhaustively cataloged. The system has failed.

Anyhow, to make up for this crucial failure in internety functionalitude, here are the variant lyrics used in season two of “Wonder Woman,” as best I can make them out (there’s a couple of lines I’m not certain of):

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman
All the world is waiting for you
And the wonders that you do

In your satin tights
Fighting for your rights
and the old red white and blue — ooooooooooohhhhh

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman
All of us are counting on you
And the power you possess

Putting all your might
On the side of right
And our courage to the test

Wonder Woman
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman

Here you fight the force of evil
And your chance won’t be denied

Woman of the hour
With your super power
I’m so glad you’re on our side

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman
You’re a wonder, Wonder Woman.

UPDATE: And here’s yet another variant opening, although the lyrics are the same. This opening features Debra Winger as Wonder Girl, a fruitless attempt to make Lyle Waggoner look tough, and Robert Hays (from the “Airplane” movies) cast as comic relief, or maybe that’s just how he looks no matter what character he plays.

Syndey, by the way, is getting interested in Wonder Woman, which I’m trying to encourage without overdoing it. She says she wants to be a “Wonder Woman fairy” this Halloween.
