| Cue Sheet | - OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Four ladies chain, go across that old ring
Chain them right on back again
Join all those hands, circle left I sing
And do a left allemande and weave the ring, singing
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or more
Dosado and promenade that floor
Why, eighty men died trying to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron from Germany
- FIGURE
Heads promenade half around that floor
Square thru and count about 4
And with the sides a right & left thru my friend
Dosado it's once around again
All 8 circulate and swing your corner
Left allemande and promenade
That Bloody Red Baron's ridin' on your tail
He's gonna shoot you straight to...well...

| Lyrics |
After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder man had never heard
Like the screaming 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 in the countryside
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was running up the score
Eighty men died trying 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!"
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was running up the score
Eighty men died trying to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
Now Snoopy swore 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
The Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He tried everything but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once and he fired twice
And the Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was running up the score
Eighty men died trying to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was running up the score
Eighty men died trying to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
