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
Chorus:
Oh, Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee (x2)
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 when’er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted Wings and giant’s rings make way for other toys
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that magic 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 lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave
