Rocket to Mongo

Intro - Theremin wail and space pad

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Mongo calls across the void tonight

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Yale boy blonde and bold and brave

Dale cinched tight in a falling plane

Meteor screaming Earth in deadly strife

Mad Zarkov swore "We're taking that rocket ride"

Crash-landed where the empty sky burns red

And every ounce of heaven hung its head

Pre-Chorus

Point the nose at the crimson glare

Hold your breath and don't you dare look back

Chorus

Flash Gordon Rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden got your hand to hold

Zarkov built a ship from sparks and dreams

Now we're dancing on a planet at the seams

Ohhh Mongo Mongo

Verse 2

Met the devils and the angels on that world

Ming the Merciless his iron fist to hurl

Daughter Aura eyes of fire for Flash alone

Barin rightful king beyond the Arborian stone

Vultan Hawkmen diving from the clouds

Thun Lion Men roaring fierce and loud

Pre-Chorus

Forest kingdom sky kingdom beast and bird

All waiting for a Yale boy's word tonight

Chorus

Flash Gordon Rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden never letting go

Zarkov shouting "We can save the Earth yet"

If we can break Ming's throne for good

Ohhh Mongo Mongo

Bridge - Funk glam breakdown

Talkin' 'bout

Tournament of Ming with ray-guns burning gold

Aura scheming in a gown of satin cold

Dale caught between a love and a dagger's gleam

Flash don't play polo no more he's a king in a rebel dream

Oh Mongo keeps turning Earth in danger still

But a polo star learned how to break a tyrant's will

Final Chorus - All out gang vocals

Flash Gordon savior of the world in pulp and ink

Dale Arden the heart that made the hero think

Zarkov Aura Barin Vultan Thun

On Mongo we are one

Outro - Big band hit with theremin fade

Flash Gordon

On the Planet Mongo

To Be Continued
