Flash! Ah-ah Savior of the universe Flash! Ah-ah He'll save everyone of us (Seemingly, there is no reason for these extraordinary intergalactical upsets) (What's happening, Flash?) (Only Doctor Hans Zarkov, formerly at NASA, has provided any explanation) Flash! Ah-ah He's a miracle (This morning's unprecedented solar eclipse is no cause for alarm) Flash! Ah-ah King of the impossible He's for every one of us Stand for every one of us He saves with a mighty hand Every man, every woman Every child, it's the mighty Flash (General Kala, Flash Gordon approaching) (What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching? (Open fire! All weapons!) (Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body) Flash! Ah-ah (Gordon's alive!) Flash! Ah-ah He'll save every one of us Just a man with a man's courage You know he's nothing but a man And he can never fail No one but the pure at heart May find the Golden Grail Oh-oh, oh-oh (Flash, Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!)
