Sides face, grand square
After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder that man never heard
Like the screamin' sound of the big war birds
Circle left
Up in the sky, a man and his plane
Do an allemande left, promenade your lane
Why eighty man died trying to end that spree
The bloody Red Baron from Germany

Heads promenade halfway round
Pass the ocean, extend, ladies trade
Swing thru, boys run right, bend the line
Square thru five hands tonight
It's 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 or more
Meet your corner promenade the floor
Why eighty man died trying to end that spree
The bloody Red Baron from Germany

Circle left
In the nick of time a hero arose
A funny lookin' dog with a big black nose
Allemande left your corner, turn partner right
Left allemande the corner and weave the town
He flew through the skies in his secret plane
You swing that girl and promenade again
Why eighty man died trying to end that spree
The bloody Red Baron from Germany

Four ladies promenade
March on home and then
You swing old Snoopy 'round my friend
Circle left, left allemande, weave the ring
It's 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 or more
Swing Snoopy and promenade the floor
Why eighty man died trying to end that spree
The bloody Red Baron from Germany

Swing her
He challenged that Baron to a real dog fight
Snoopy fired once, the Baron went spinnin' out of sight
