Flash! Gordon! (On the Planet Mongo)

Verse 1 - 40s Crooner Swing

He was a Yale polo boy, blonde and bold and brave

Dale beside him in a falling plane

Meteor in the sky, Earth in deadly strife

Mad Zarkov said "Boys and girl - we're taking that rocket ride"

Crash-landed on Mongo, where the sky burns red

Chorus - 50s Rockabilly / Doo-Wop

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 - 60s Surf & Psychedelic

Well I met the devils and the angels on that world

Ming the Merciless with an iron fist to hurl

His daughter Aura, eyes of fire for Flash alone

And Barin rightful king out in Arboria's forest home

Vultan! Hawkmen diving from the clouds

Thun! Lion Men roaring proud and loud

Forest kingdom, sky kingdom, beast and bird

All waiting for a Yale boy's word

Chorus - Bigger, with horns

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

Bridge - 70s Funk Glam Breakdown

Talkin' 'bout

Tournament of Ming, sword fights and ray-guns glow

Princess Aura scheming in a gown of gold

Dale caught between 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 kill a tyrant with a will

Final Chorus - All out

Flash! Gordon! (Savior of the universe 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 + Theremin fade

Flash Gordon... On the Planet Mongo... To Be Continued!
