Lyrics:
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And froliked 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.
Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a look out perched on
Puff's gigantic tail
Noblekings and princess would bow
When e'er they came
Pirate ships would low'r their flag
When puff roared out his name Oh!
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 might 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!
