Puff, the Magic Dragon lyrics

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 look-out 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 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

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
