Lyrics

Flash - A-Ah - Saviour of the universe
Flash - A-Ah - He'll save every one of us
Seemingly there is no reason for these
Extraordinary intergalactical upsets (ha ha ha)
What's happening Flash?
Only Dr Hans Zarkov formerly at NASA
Has provided any explanation
Flash - A-Ah - He's a miracle
This mornings unprecedented solar eclipse
Is no cause for alarm
Flash - A-Ah - King of the impossible
He's for every one of us
Stand for every one of us
He'll save with a mighty hand
Every man every woman every child
He's a mighty Flash
General Kaka Flash Gordon approaching
What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
Open fire all weapons
Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body

Flash - A-Ah
Gordon's alive
Flash - A-Ah - He'll save every one of us
Just a man with a man's courage
He knows nothing but a man
But he can never fail
No-one but the pure in 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

Flash
