Royal Guardsmen - Snoopy Versus The Red Baron Lyrics
After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder man has 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
Eight-y men tried and eight-y men died
Now they're buried together on the country side.
Chorus:
Ten, Twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eight-y 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!"
(Chorus)
Now Snoopy had 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 sights.
That 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 that Bloody Red Baron went spin-nin out of sight.

細かく言うと(久しぶりにターンテーブルにかけて聴いた)「暁の空中戦」の冒頭は何やら(奇っ怪な)ドイツ語らしきセリフ―
Achtung! Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte über den schweinköpfigen Hund und den lieben Red Baron (直訳で Attention! Now we sing together the history about the pork-headed dog and the beloved Red Baron てな感じですか)
にイントロがかぶさって曲が始まる。
当然(こんなの聴き取れるわけないから)レコード歌詞ではスルーされてるが、せめて途中で繰り返される行進の号令―
Eins, zwei, drei, vier...
その後に英語で―
Left, two, three, four...
くらいは(聴き取れないわけないから)書き込んでくれてもよかったろうにと思う。
まあねぇ… 半世紀も前のライナーノーツに突っ込んでも詮ないけれど―
But the Baron shot him down "Curses, foiled again!"
ここが レコード歌詞では―
But the Baron shot him down "This is fired again"
と意味不明なセリフにされている…
考えてみりゃ(ネット以前の紙媒体でありながら)いつまでも記録として残るというのは実に怖ろしい(ぞっとする)ことでありますね。
ま、不肖 sohkusa きっと無知にして無恥なる御託を並べた独り言も多々あろうけども、その辺は(我が身は棚に上げて)しらばくれて続けさせてもらうしかないでしょう。(ご容赦)
