Rocket to Mongo

Verse 1

He was a Yale polo boy with a golden grin

Dale beside him while the plane came tumbling in

Meteor burning through a sky about to crack

Mad Zarkov yelled "We're taking that rocket ride!"

Crash-landed where the heavens burn bright red

Strange horizon spinning over our heads

Pre-Chorus

Steel and starlight

Spark and screaming flight

Nothing left behind

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

Oh Mongo

Oh Mongo

Verse 2

I met the devils and the angels on that sphere

Ming the Merciless with iron for the year

His daughter Aura burning for the stranger's face

Barin rightful king lost in Arboria's place

Vultan diving from the thunderclouds

Thun men roaring fierce and loud

Forest folk and sky folk beast and bird

Waiting for that Yale boy's word

Pre-Chorus

Steel and starlight

Spark and screaming flight

Earth is calling still

Chorus

Flash Gordon rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden never letting go

Zarkov shouting "We can save the world yet"

If we can break the tyrant's throne

Oh Mongo

Oh Mongo

Bridge

Talkin' 'bout the Tournament of Ming

Sword and ray-gun in the glinting ring

Aura scheming in that gown of gold

Dale caught between a love and a blade so cold

Flash don't play polo anymore

He's a king in a rebel war

Mongo spinning danger in the dark

But a polo boy learned to make his mark

Final Chorus

Flash Gordon savior in the pulp and ink

Dale Arden the heart that made him think

Zarkov Aura Barin Vultan Thun

On Mongo we are one

On Mongo we are one

Outro

Flash Gordon

On the planet Mongo
