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 we're taking that rocket ride

Crash-landed on Mongo where the sky burns red

Chorus

Flash Gordon riding to Mongo

Dale Arden holding tight

Zarkov built a ship from sparks and fever dreams

Now we're dancing on a planet at the seams

Oh Mongo oh Mongo

Verse 2

Well I met the devils and the angels on that world

Ming the Merciless with fists of iron hurled

His daughter Aura burning for the stranger's soul

And Barin waiting in the forest to take back his control

Vultan diving down from Hawkmen clouds

Thun roaring with the lion crowd

Forest kingdom sky kingdom beast and bird

All waiting for a Yale boy's word

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the war drums calling

Every empire falling

Chorus

Flash Gordon riding to Mongo

Dale Arden never letting go

Zarkov screaming we can save the Earth yet

If we can break the tyrant's throne

Oh Mongo oh Mongo

Bridge

Talkin' bout the Tournament

Sword fights and ray guns glow

Aura scheming in a gown of gold

Dale caught between a lover and a dagger's gleam

The polo star don't play no more

He's a king in a rebel dream

Oh Mongo keeps turning Earth in danger still

But a Yale boy learned a tyrant's will

Final Chorus

Flash Gordon savior of the stars in pulp and ink

Dale Arden the heart that made the hero think

Zarkov and Aura Barin Vultan and Thun

On Mongo we are one

Outro

Flash Gordon

Planet Mongo
