Rocket to Mongo

Verse 1 - 40s Crooner Swing

Yale polo boy blonde and bold and brave

Dale beside him in a falling plane

Meteor streak the sky Earth in deadly strife

Mad Zarkov cried out 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

Met the devils and the angels on that world

Ming the Merciless with iron fist to hurl

Daughter Aura eyes of fire for Flash alone

Barin rightful king 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

Hold tight to the girl

Hold fast to the stars

We came to save the earth

We're not leaving a scar

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 the 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 gang vocals

Flash Gordon savior of the universe in pulp and ink

Dale Arden the heart that made the hero think

Zarkov and Aura Barin Vultan Thun

On Mongo we are one

Outro - Big Band hit fade

Flash Gordon on the planet Mongo
