Pauly and the Bloody Horned Baron

Pauly’s Christmas (from)
Snoopy's Christmas 1966, The Royal Guardsmen

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, [Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmastree]du kannst mir sehr gefallen! [Of all the trees most lovely]

The news had come out in the First Deer War
The bloody Horned Baron was scraping once more
The Howell command ignored all of its men
And called on Pauly to do it again.

Was the day before Christmas, 40 below.
When Pauly went out in search of his foe
He spied the Horned Baron, fiercely they fought
With ice on his scope Pauly knew he was caught.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man

The Baron had Pauly dead in his sights
He knocked over his stand to finish the fight
Why he didn't gore him, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man

The Baron made Pauly step to field #9
And forced him to unload behind the enemy lines
Pauly was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"

The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Pauly, our hero, saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man.
