Puff the Magic Dragon...
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 puffs gigantic tail, • Noble kings and princes would bow whene'r 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, • Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea • And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Dragons live forever but not so little boys • Painted wings and giant strings make way for other toys. • One sad night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more • And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless 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!
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.
