Puff, the Magic Dragon (Live)
The dragon
The dragon is a large mythological beast
Having four separate and of course, therefore, quite distinctive legs
And a monstrous body with thousands of tiny scales
At one end of the large montrous body we find an almost equally montrous head
With two flaming nostrils, the mean temperature which sometimes reaches 212° centigrades
At the other end of the large monstrous body, we uhm-
The dragon, the dragon is a large mythological beast
Having four separate therefore quite distinct nostrils
And a large monstrous scale
With thousands of tiny legs?
The dragon, woops-
Anyway, this is not supposed to be a speech about a dragon
This is indeed a song about a dragon
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honali
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 Honali
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honali
Together we should sing it, it's just a children's song
And if you do not know the words, you better learn them
Oh, Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honali (sing it with us)
Oh, Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honali
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 Honali
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honali
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant's 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 lifelong 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 Honali
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honali
The dragon is a large mythological beast
