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 screamin' sound of a big war bird.



Up in the sky, a man in a plane

Baron von Richthoven was his name

Eighty men tried and eighty men died

Now they're buried together on the country side.



(chorus)

Ten, twenty, thirty, fourty, fifty or more

The bloody Red Baron was rollin; up 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 lookin' dog with a big black nose

He flew into the sky to seek revenge

But the Baron shot him down--foiled again.



(chorus)



Now Snoopy'd swore that he'd get that man

So he asked the great pumpkin for a new battle plan

He challenged the German to a real dog fight

While the baron was laughing he got him in his sight.



The bloody Red Baron was in a fix

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

Snoopy fired once then he fired twice

And the bloody Red Baron was spinnin' out of sight.



(chorus
