Rocket to Mongo

Intro - Theremin Sweep

Woo-oo-oo... Mongo calling

Woo-oo-oo... Flash is falling

Verse 1 - 40s crooner swing

Polo boy in a tie and blazer charm

Dale by his side through the falling plane alarm

Meteor screaming down and Earth begins to crack

Zarkov at the console said we're never turning back

Crash-landed on Mongo where the sky burns crimson bright

Every step a gamble in the alien light

Pre-Chorus

Wires spark

Engines bark

Steel and sizzle

Time to fight the dark

Chorus - 50s doo-wop rockabilly

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 psych

Met the devils and the angels on that world tonight

Ming the Merciless with iron fingers tight

His daughter Aura burning eyes for Flash alone

And Barin rightful king beyond the forest throne

Vultan's Hawkmen diving silver from the sky

Thun and all his Lion Men roaring battle cry

Forest kingdom sky kingdom beast and bird

All waiting for that Yale boy's word

Pre-Chorus

Ray guns glow

Armor show

Electro dream

Let the battle flow

Chorus - Bigger with horns

Flash! Gordon! Rocket to Mongo!

Dale! Arden! Never letting go!

Zarkov shouting we can save the Earth tonight

If we can break Ming's throne of blinding light

Ohhh Mongo! Mongo!

Bridge - 70s funk glam breakdown - bass and wah

Tournament of Ming with swords and staring glare

Aura scheming silent in a gown of glittered air

Dale caught between a love and dagger's gleam

Flash don't play polo now

He's a king inside a rebel dream

Oh Mongo keeps on turning

Earth is hanging by a thread

But the polo star learned how to stand

How to face the tyrant's head

FInal Chorus - All out gang vocals

Flash! Gordon! Savior of the pulp and ink!

Dale! Arden! Heart that taught the hero think!

Zarkov! Aura! Barin! Vultan! Thun!

On Mongo we are one!

Outro - Big band hit + theremin fade

Flash Gordon on the planet Mongo

To be continued in the stars

Oh Mongo

Mongo

Woo-oo-oo-oo
