ROYAL GUARDSMEN
Snoopy vs The 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 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
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' out 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-looking dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down--"Curses, foiled again!"
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
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

"Snoopy's Christmas"
by The Royal Guardsmen
------------------------------------------------
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

memory...

I remember it being in the charts - must have been mid-70s. Found the lyrics

From me too. We had the 45 when I was a kid and listened to it all the time.

IIRC, both songs have the same music.

Mark, with some of the stuff I've seen you pull off, there's no need
to apologize for anything.

Ooh, I've never heard the Return. Got the lyrics? ;-)

I got 'em! Enjoy!
Return Of The Red Baron
- Royal Guardsmen
You remember that Baron,
flyin' high in the sky.
And Snoopy shot him down,
with a gleam in his eye.
But the German had leaped,
from his blood red plane,
just before it burst,
into a ball of flame.
Snoopy circled back.
to check his kill.
Saw that bloody Red Baron,
standin' high on a hill.
Then he swooped down low,
shouted "Curse you Red Baron!"
The german shook his fist.
You could hear him swearin'. (Ach du lieber!)
Hey watch out there Snoopy!
You're really in a mess.
You thought you were through,
with that bloody Red Baron,
but it looks like he's not down yet.
Then a cry went up,
all over the land.
The bloody Red Baron,
would strike again.
But brave little Snoopy said,
"Never fear!"
As he headed for his plane,
all the people cheered.
Hey watch out little Snoopy!
You're really in a mess.
You thought you were through,
with that bloody Red Baron,
but it looks like he's not down yet.
Snoopy blazed a trail,
straight across the sea,
searchin' in vain,
for his enemy.
Then he found that German,
trying to fix his plane,
a-sweatin' and a-flustered,
'bout to go insane.
Snoopy landed,
for a pistol duel.
The Baron was worried.
Snoopy was cool.
He fired a shot,
missed - started to run,
before Snoopy had a chance,
to raise his gun.
Hey watch out Red Baron!
Snoopy is on your trail.
One of these days,
he's gonna make you pay,
and you'll go straight to,
Well watch out Red Baron!
Snoopy is on your trail.
One of these days,
he's gonna make you pay,
and you'll go straight to,
Well watch out Red Baron!
Snoopy is on your trail.
One of these days,
he's gonna make you pay,
and you'll go straight to,
well....

Thanks. :)

how to play any other rythm. ;-)
Anyone else catch the musical reference to "Hang on Sloopy" in two of
the three?
