Intro - Theremin Sweep
Woo-oo-oo... Mongo calling
Woo-oo-oo... Flash is falling
Verse 1 - 40s crooner swing
Polo boy in a tie and blazer charm
Dale by his side through the falling plane alarm
Meteor screaming down and Earth begins to crack
Zarkov at the console said we're never turning back
Crash-landed on Mongo where the sky burns crimson bright
Every step a gamble in the alien light
Pre-Chorus
Wires spark
Engines bark
Steel and sizzle
Time to fight the dark
Chorus - 50s doo-wop rockabilly
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 psych
Met the devils and the angels on that world tonight
Ming the Merciless with iron fingers tight
His daughter Aura burning eyes for Flash alone
And Barin rightful king beyond the forest throne
Vultan's Hawkmen diving silver from the sky
Thun and all his Lion Men roaring battle cry
Forest kingdom sky kingdom beast and bird
All waiting for that Yale boy's word
Pre-Chorus
Ray guns glow
Armor show
Electro dream
Let the battle flow
Chorus - Bigger with horns
Flash! Gordon! Rocket to Mongo!
Dale! Arden! Never letting go!
Zarkov shouting we can save the Earth tonight
If we can break Ming's throne of blinding light
Ohhh Mongo! Mongo!
Bridge - 70s funk glam breakdown - bass and wah
Tournament of Ming with swords and staring glare
Aura scheming silent in a gown of glittered air
Dale caught between a love and dagger's gleam
Flash don't play polo now
He's a king inside a rebel dream
Oh Mongo keeps on turning
Earth is hanging by a thread
But the polo star learned how to stand
How to face the tyrant's head
FInal Chorus - All out gang vocals
Flash! Gordon! Savior of the pulp and ink!
Dale! Arden! Heart that taught 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 in the stars
Oh Mongo
Mongo
Woo-oo-oo-oo
