Royal Guardsman - Snoopy Versus The Red Baron Lyrics

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
