There are occasional mistakes in the live performance but below are the full intended lyrics: Earth's under attack from outer space Flash Gordon is called upon to save the human race With Dale Arden and Doctor Zarkov They board Zarkov's rocket ship and strap in for liftoff 3, 2, 1, go! Ready to launch Blasting off Go! To outer space To save the Earth from The Planet of Peril Mongo! Flash, Dale and Zarkov on the Planet of Peril Caught by Yellow-Men and brought to Ming the Merciless Emperor of the Universe Dale must be his bride and Flash must die are his orders Flash leaps at Ming Guards hold back Flash And throw him Go! To Ming's arena To fight Red Ape-Men Onrushing Red Ape-Men Go! But Flash Gordon don't need no ray-gun to save the human race He just curls up his fist and decks those Ape-Men right in the face Knocking down Ming's evil forces with mighty, pounding blows Saving the whole universe, whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Flash Gordon alone and on the run Forms an alliance with Prince Thun of the Lion-Men Together they fall into a trap Caught by Yellow-Men under Emperor Ming's command Shark-Men drag Flash Underwater To their Underwater Kingdom Go! To their arena To fight Green Shark-Men Onrushing Green Shark-Men Go! But Flash Gordon don't need no ray-gun to save the human race He just curls up his fist and decks those Shark-Men right in the face Knocking down Ming's evil forces with mighty, pounding blows Saving the whole universe, whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Flash Gordon on the run again Joins another foe of Ming Prince Barin, leading Yellow-Men Who turned against Ming's army From up high Hawk-Men dive Ming's winged minions who fly Snatch Flash and Prince Barin up And bring them to their Cloud Kingdom Bound in chains As Hawk-Men's slaves In the Atom-Furnaces Flash comes across Doctor Zarkov And Prince Thun of the Lion-Men Zarkov hatches a plan To escape from the Hawk-Men Blow up the Atom-Furnace Hall And make the whole Cloud Kingdom fall As it collapses he shows the Hawk-Men That only he can save their Cloud Kingdom So they have to free Flash and his band Whoa-oh Emperor Ming Shows up with his army Demanding to torture Flash The only way That Flash can be saved Is to enter the Tournament of Death Fighters from every race on Mongo Fill the planet's greatest arena To slay each other with Flaming Lance And do the Poison Dagger Dance Flash Gordon stands victorious So Ming the Merciless Has to set him free again Whoa-oh Dale Arden a bride of the Emperor Flash Gordon finally on his way to rescue her Doctor Zarkov's Invisibility Machine Renders Flash unseen Go! Invisible, Flash saves the one he loves Then springs right past Yellow-Man armed with swords and ray-guns To Ming's Throne Hall To confront Ming Flash leaps at him Go! Flash Gordon don't need no ray-gun to save the planet Earth He just curls up his fist and decks the Emperor of the Universe Knocking out Ming the Merciless, baby, with mighty, pounding blows Punching him right in the face Whoa-oh-oh Flash Gordon's got slick blonde hair and a BLAZING ATOM on his shirt He throws aside his sword and ray-gun and punches out Ming the Merciless Saving the whole universe, baby, with mighty and pounding blows Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh AHH!!! FLASH GORDON!
