Now who can not forget this song! LOL And where is this group now! LOL Mike Marmer The Red Baron Lyrics 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) Ten, twenty, thirty, fourty, fifty or 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. 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--foiled again. (chorus) 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. 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.

Quick, without looking at Google, who did the song, about 1964? << The Royal Guardsmen, of course! The follow-up was "Snoopy's Christmas." _http://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/snoopysc.htm_ (http://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/snoopysc.htm) Anyway, "Christmas in the Trenches" is a great song. Darryl Purpose does it on his Christmas CD, "Gift of the Magi." Along with Dave Carter's "American Noel."
