Puff, The Magic Dragon

PUFF, THE MAGIC DRAGON
Lipton/Yarrow Cherry Lane Music Publishing Co., Inc. -ASCAP/WB Music Corp.-ASCAP

Puff, the magic dragon lived 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,
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 whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag 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 Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

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.

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!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

Thanks!!

This song goes back a long way. I remember being in my parents garage when I was young (not even 10) singing my head off to this song! And the neighbor kid across the street teasing me.
Thanks for the memories - it was over 35yrs ago - oh my god im gonna start crying

 

[nativetxn]

Oh please...you were <b>10</b>???? I was...well, I was older than that

 

[imgoingtodisney]

well maybe i was younger - i know i moved from Long Island when I was 11 and this song is definately from my parents old garage
so how old could i have been? i was born in 1957 - soon to be 45yrs
