For those of you who have pledged to heed the call to the Colbert Nation by Stephen Colbert to sing the Tek Jansen theme song loudly (and drunk, I believe), here are the lyrics. Thanks to Esteban_Colberto from the Colboards and HelenaHandbasket from TWoP for the transcription! (There are some discrepancies between the two different transcriptions, so I kind of combined the two. Maybe Avery will post the lyrics and/or an MP3 and we’ll get the official words, but for now this is the best I can provide.)
EDIT: Thanks to Robert for further clarification
Sing Along with Tek Jansen!
Tek Jansen, Alpha Squad Seven
Facing the future with courage!
Killing the aliens,
Loving the aliens,
Sometimes loving, then killing the aliens!
Tek Jansen, wearer of starsuits,
Surfing the comet of danger!
Foiling his enemy, Thurmond Chang
And those affiliated with the Thurmond Chang Gang!
___
Tek, tell me your space dreams
Put down your bioplasma disruptor pistol
And love me through the night!
___
Tek Jansen, galaxy hero,
Super awesome spectacular ultra-spy!
Scourge of the Pistol Lords
Friend of the Juripees
Neutral to the Slibs!
Tek Jansen…
____
…aaaand Porpy, his zany buddy
gettin’ in trouble, actin all nutty,
guaranteed to give you a smile!
Porpy! And his friend…
___
…Tek Jansen, hunter of quasars
Whose exciting exploits would sell millions of books!
It is the future!
You are our hero!
“I am Tek Jansen”
Tek! Yeaaaaahhhh!
I think it should be “Foiling his enemy”
not “Fighting his enemy”
And the line
“Whose exciting exploits would sell a million books!”
should be
“Whose exploits would sell millions of books.”
I have spent a few hours listening to it, and those were the only things I saw that were off.

Thanks for the clarification – and are you preparing for a drunken singing of this song, possibly with youths?

You are right about the foiling his enemy part instead of fighting his enemy, but it is “Whose exciting exploits would sell a million books!” not “Whose exploits would sell millions of books.” Just listen to the end at

I’m pretty sure it’s “facing the future OF courage”
Though it doesn’t make a ton of sense
