Achtung!
Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte
Über den schweinköpfigen Hund
Und den lieben Red Baron
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 Richthofen was his name
80 men tried, and 80 men died
Now, they're buried together on the countryside
Ten, 20, 30, 40, 50 or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
80 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 ("Yes, he's flying again")
Ten, 20, 30, 40, 50 or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
80 men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
Now, Snoopy had 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 laughin', he got him in his sight
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 spinnin' out of sight
Ten, 20, 30, 40, 50 or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
80 men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
Well, ten, 20, 30, 40, 50 or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
