Rocket to Mongo

Verse 1

Yale boy in a bomber jacket blue

Blonde and bold and brave times two

Dale at his side when the sky gave way

Zarkov screaming off this burning world today

Meteor trail cut the heavens down

Earth was cracking at the seams in town

Mad professor grabbed a wrench and wire

"Every hero needs a rocket for the fire"

Pre-Chorus

And we're climbing up

Through the red and rising stuff

Chorus

Flash Gordon rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden got your hand to hold

Spark-bright ship from dreams and scrap

Dancing on a planet at the seam

Oh Mongo

Oh Mongo

Verse 2

Met the devils met the angels there

Ming the Merciless with iron glare

Aura's eyes a burning golden heat

Barin king of forest at her feet

Vultan diving off the cloud-strewn ledge

Thun's great roar from the canyon's edge

Sky and jungle waiting for a word

From a boy who used to ride the herd

Pre-Chorus

And we're climbing up

Where the copper rivers cut

Chorus

Flash Gordon rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden never letting go

Zarkov shouting we can save the day

Break the throne and we can find our way

Oh Mongo

Oh Mongo

Bridge

Tournament of Ming with swords alight

Aura scheming in her gown of white

Dale caught between a love and a blade

Polo boy became a king unafraid

Final Chorus

Flash Gordon savior in the ink

Dale Arden gave the hero time to think

Zarkov Aura Barin Vultan Thun

Down on Mongo we are one

Oh Mongo

Oh Mongo

Outro

Flash Gordon on the planet Mongo

To be continued

Mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm
