After the turn of the century

In the clear blue skies over Germany

Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard

Like the scream and the sound of a big war bird

Up in the sky, a man in a plane

Baron von Richtofin was his name

Eighty men tried, and eighty men died

Now they're buried together on the countryside



Chorus:

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more

The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' out the score

Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree

Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany



In the nick of time, a hero arose

A funny-looking dog with a big black nose

He flew into the sky to seek revenge

But the Baron shot him down--"Curses, foiled again!"



(chorus)



Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man

So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan

He challenged the German to a real dogfight

While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight



That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix

He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks

Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice

And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight



(chorus, to fade)
