Rocket to Mongo

Intro

Mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm

Verse 1

Yale polo boy with a star-lit grin

Dale beside him where the storm begins

Meteor tumbling through the dying sky

Zarkov yelled it loud "We're gonna take that rocket ride"

Crash-landed where the red sky burns

Strange world turning underneath my boots

Pre-Chorus

And the ground keeps shaking

And the towers keep waking

Every shadow swinging at my chin

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

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh Mongo

Oh-oh-oh Mongo

Verse 2

Met the devils and the angels on that burning ground

Ming the Merciless with iron fists to pound

His daughter Aura flame-drenched eyes for Flash alone

Barin rightful king in Arboria's forest home

Vultan's hawkmen diving from the clouds

Thun's lion men roaring fierce and loud

Forest kingdom sky kingdom beast and bird

All waiting for that Yale boy's word

Pre-Chorus

And the sky keeps thundering

And the war drums keep wondering

Who's gonna break the tyrant's throne

Chorus

Flash Gordon rocket to Mongo

Dale Arden never letting go

Zarkov shouting "We can save the Earth yet"

If we can smash that gilded throne

Oh Mongo oh Mongo

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh Mongo

Oh-oh-oh Mongo

Bridge

Tournament of Ming with ray-guns glow

Aura scheming slow in a gown of gold

Dale caught between a 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 bend a tyrant's will

Final Chorus

Flash Gordon (pulp and ink and thunder)

Dale Arden (the heart that made him wonder)

Zarkov Aura Barin Vultan Thun

On Mongo we are one

Outro

Mm-mm-mm
