Puff The Magic Dragon
From Camp Yawgoog.Org
Lyrics
Puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea, And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honnilee. Little Jackie Paper, loved that rascal Puff, And brought him strings and sealing wax And other fancy stuff. Chorus: Oh, Puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea, And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honnilee. Puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea, And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honnilee. Together they would travel, on a boat with a billowed sail. Jackie kept a lookout, perched on Puff’s gigantic tail. Noble kings and princes would bow when e’er they came. Pirate ships would lower their flag When Puff roared out his name CHORUS A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys. Painted wings and giant strings, make way for other toys. One gray night did happen, Jackie Paper came no more, And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar. CHORUS His head was bent is 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. CHORUS
