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 Richtofen was his name,
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died,
Now, they’re buried together on the country side…

In the nick of time, a hero arose,
A funny lookin’ dog with a big black nose,
He flew in to the sky to seek revenge,
But the Baron shot him down…
