Update: I looked that show up and it's not it, but it does have a delightful theme song.
Yes I remember loving that song.

No, though they do have an animated opening, and that leads to the bonus clue: this was an animated show.
Continuing with the lyrics:
Spacemen with a mission, You must make a very big decision. With your solar bomb you could destroy us, Or save the world, or save the world.

Final clue: The next two lines indicate they were disguised as a rabbit, a horse, and a duck. I say this instead of posting the lines because the first of those two lines was always unintelligible to me, but the gist of them was that the rabbit and horse laughed when the third got stuck as a duck. Apparently in Japan ducks get no respect.
The last stanza: Space men with a mission They must make a very big decision Earth boy Kenny Carter knows their secret Away they go To meet the foe (title of show)... (title of show)... (title of show)...

Oh well, the title of that show was Amazing Three.
I'll try one more, again mid-1960's, but this time American and not animated. (Title of show), it's about space, It's about two men in the strangest place.

That would be my guess and that's a good hint. It's earlier than the original Five-O.

The show I'm thinking of was one of a series of private eye shows set in exotic locales in the early '60s. Robert Conrad and Connie Stevens were in the cast.

According to the internet, you're right Quis. Do you have one for us to guess? (He says as if he's any good at this...)
