SNOOPY VS. THE RED BARON

After the turn of the century,
In the clear blue skies over Germany,
Came a roar and a thunder man had never heard,
Like the screaming sound of a big war bird.

Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name.
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died,
Now they're buried together in the countryside

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was running up the score.
Eighty men died trying 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!"

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more,
The Bloody Red Baron was running up the score.
Eighty men died trying to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Now Snoopy swore 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.

The Bloody Red Baron was in a fix,
He tried everything but he'd run out of tricks.
Snoopy fired once and he fired twice
And the Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more,
The Bloody Red Baron was running up the score.
Eighty men died trying to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more,
The Bloody Red Baron was running up the score.
Eighty men died trying to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany.
