Puff, the Magic Dragon |
|
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. |

|
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. |
|
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys. |
Painted wings and giant 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 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. |
