Rocket to Mongo

Verse 1 - 40s Crooner Swing

Yale boy with a golden grin

Dale beside him when the wings gave in

Meteor screaming down across the sky

Zarkov yelled "We're taking that rocket ride"

Crash-landed on Mongo where the heavens bleed red

Chorus - 50s Rockabilly / Doo-Wop

Flash Gordon on that whirlwind trip

Dale Arden steady at his hip

Zarkov tore a starship from scrap and spark

Two worlds away from Central Park

Oh Mongo

Oh Mongo

Verse 2 - 60s Surf & Psychedelic

Saw the angels and the devils side by side

Ming the Merciless with nowhere left to hide

His daughter Aura burning bright for Flash alone

Barin king of Arboria deep in forest stone

Vultan Hawkmen diving off the spires

Thun Lion Men roaring like wild fires

Sky domain and forest domain all aligned

Every creature waiting for a fearless mind

Pre-Chorus

Drums in the dust

Wires and thunder

Something is coming

Pulling us under

Chorus - Bigger, with horns

Flash Gordon racing through the storm

Dale Arden keeping his heart warm

Zarkov screaming "We can save the Earth yet"

If we shatter Ming's throne

Bridge - 70s Funk Glam Breakdown - Bass & Wah

Tournament of blades and glowing guns

Aura scheming underneath the sun

Dale caught between a dagger and a kiss

Flash no longer plays polo in the bliss

Mongo keeps spinning Earth still in the cold

But a polo star turned rebel with a heart of gold

Final Chorus - All out - Queen-style gang vocals

Flash Gordon (Rocket man from Earth's own core)

Dale Arden (The witness and the open door)

Zarkov Aura Barin Vultan Thun

On Mongo we are standing as one

Outro - Big Band hit + Theremin fade

Flash Gordon

On the Planet Mongo
