The news had come out in the First World War

 The bloody Red Baron was flying once more

 The Allied command ignored all of its men

 And called on Snoopy to do it again.

Was the night before Christmas, 40 below

 When Snoopy went up in search of his foe

 He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought

 With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells

Ring out from the land

Asking peace of all the world

And good will to man

The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights

 He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight

 Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know

Or was it the bells from the village below.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells

Ringing through the land

Bringing peace to all the world

And good will to man

The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine

 And forced him to land behind the enemy lines

 Snoopy was certain that this was the end

 When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"

The Baron then offered a holiday toast

 And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host

 And then with a roar they were both on their way

 Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells

Ringing through the land

Bringing peace to all the world

And good will to man

Christmas bells those Christmas bells

Ringing through the land

Bringing peace to all the world

And good will to man
