"In your satin tights, Fighting for your rights": the theme song from the old 70's era Wonder Woman series

From the Wonder Woman TV series, not the recent movie. They just don't write lyrics like that anymore, do they? The entire set is below.

Here's the intro (with the song):



And a "mix" video:


The lyrics:

Wonder Woman!
Wonder Woman!

All the world is waiting for you,
And the powers you possess,
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights,
And the old red, white and blue!

Wonder Woman!
Wonder Woman!

Now the world is ready for you,
And the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth!

Wonder Woman!
Get us out from under.
Wonder Woman!
All our hopes are pinned upon you,
And the magic that you do.
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fold,
Change their minds,
And change the world!

Wonder Woman!
Wonder Woman!
You're a wonder!
Wonder Woman!

Smithsonian has an excellent article: The Surprising Origin Story of Wonder Woman, which includes, as one of the illustrations, this:



In case you have trouble reading it, it reads:

With my speculum,
I am strong!
I can fight!
