Lyrics

The dragon.

The dragon is a large mythological beast, having four separate and therefore quite distinctive legs, and a monstrous body with thousands of tiny scales. At one end of the large monstrous body we find an almost equally monstrous head with two flaming nostrils. The mean temperature of which sometimes reaches two hundred and twelve degrees Centigrade.

At the other end of the large monstrous body, we, um–

The dragon. Thе dragon is a large mythological beast, having four separatе and therefore quite distinct nostrils, and a large monstrous scale. With thousands of tiny legs?

The dragon. Whoops!

In any event, this is not supposed to be a speech about a dragon. This is indeed a song about a dragon.

Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee
And 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 Honalee
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee
Together we should sing it
It's just a children's song
And if you do not know the words
You'd better learn them

Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee (Sing it with us)
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee

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 flags
When Puff roared out his name
Oh, 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

A dragon lives forever
But not so little boys
Painted wings and giants' 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

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, 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
