Puff, the Magic Dragon

CHORUS
Puff, the magic dragon live 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.
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 where'er they came,
Pirate ships would low'r their flag
when Puff roared out his name.
Oh...CHORUS
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One gray night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon,
he ceased his fearless roar.
Oh...CHORUS
His head was bent in sorrow---
green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play
along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon,
sadly slipped into his cave.
Oh...CHORUS
