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 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 1
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and 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.
Verse 2
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; "Curses! Foiled again!"
Chorus 2
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and 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.
Interlude
Verse 3
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.

Verse 4
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 3
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and 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. Well...
Chorus 4
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and 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.
