The Royal Guardsmen - The Story of Snoopy vs. the Red Baron lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Richthofen 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 rolling out the score Eighty men died trying to end that spree Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany [Verse 2] 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] [Verse 3] 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 [Musical interlude] 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]
