Puff,
the magic dragon
Lived
by the sea
And
frolicked in the autumn mist
In
a land called Honah Lee
Little
Jackie Paper
Loved
that rascal Puff,
And
brought him strings and sealing wax
And
other fancy stuff. Oh!
Puff,
the magic dragon
Lived
by the sea
And
frolicked in the autumn mist
In
a land called Honah Lee
Puff,
the magic dragon
Lived
by the sea
And
frolicked in the autumn mist
In
a land called Honah Lee
Together
they would travel
On
a boat with billowed sail
Jackie
kept a lookout perched
On
Puff's gigantic tail
Noble
kings and princes
Would
bow whene'er they came,
Pirate
ships would lower their flag
When
Puff roared out his name. Oh!
Puff,
the magic dragon
Lived
by the sea
And
frolicked in the autumn mist
In
a land called Honah Lee
A
dragon lives forever
But
not so little boys
Painted
wings and giant rings
Make
way for other toys.
One
grey night it happened,
Jackie
Paper came no more
And
Puff that mighty dragon,
He
ceased his fealess roar.
His
head was bent in sorrow,
Green
scales fell like rain,
Puff
no longer went to play
Along
the cherry lane.
Without
his life-long friend,
Puff
could not be brave,
So
Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly
slipped into his cave. Oh!
(Sing
Chorus Softly)
Puff,
the magic dragon
Lived
by the sea
And
frolicked in the autumn mist
In
a land called Honah Lee
(Sing
Chorus Loudly)
Puff,
the magic dragon
Lived
by the sea
And
frolicked in the autumn mist
