- Opening theme song lyrics
Up and at 'em it's Atom Ant!
His strength, his might, his speed, his flight!
He's Atom Ant, that tiny ant and his atomic power!
As what it takes and always makes the vilest villian coward!
He's rough, he's tough and badguys yell enough!
When he's up and at 'em, Atom Ant!
