Rocket to Mongo

Verse 1

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

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

Post-Chorus

Ohhh, Mongo

Ohhh, Mongo

Verse 2

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

Pre-Chorus

The rays are glowing, the drums are low

The whole damned planet's putting on a show

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

Post-Chorus

Ohhh, Mongo

Ohhh, Mongo

Bridge

Talkin' bout the Tournament of Ming

Sword fights and ray-guns glowing

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

Chorus

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

Post-Chorus

Ohhh, Mongo

Ohhh, Mongo

Outro

Flash Gordon on the planet Mongo
