PUFF the Magic Dragon
Words and Music by Peter Yarrow and Leonard Lipton, 1963

VERSE:
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!

REFRAIN:
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.

VERSE:
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 low'r their flag
when Puff roared out his name. Oh!

REFRAIN.

VERSE:
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. Oh!

REFRAIN.

VERSE:
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!

REFRAIN.

Okay. This song always made me cry.

There's an additional verse that's stuck in as a joke on some recordings by
PP&M:

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!!!!!

this is foun on the recording in which "The Dragon" speech preceeds the
song.
