Puff the Magic Dragon

PUFF, THE MAGIC DRAGON

Verse 1            

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee

Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff

And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh

Chorus            

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee

Verse 2            

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

Chorus            

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee

Verse 3            

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 fearless roar

Verse 4            

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

Chorus            

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
