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 autmn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

Puff the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autmn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail
Jacki 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 autmn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

Puff the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autmn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

A dragon lives forever
But not little boys
Painted wings and giant rings
Make way for other toys.

One grey night it happened,
Jackie Paper cam 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.

Whith out 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 autmn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

(Sing Chorus Loudly)

Puff the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autmn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
