I Saw a Dragon

A dragon, a dragon, I swear I saw a dragon A green and seething fire breathing monstrous in sight With eyes of red and lion's head, and wings as dark as night Oh, he has a jaw of gleaming teeth, he's 50 feet in height It's true, it's true, oh, what are we to do? It's true, it's true, he'll break us all in two Oh, he's coming in, and his great big fin is right against the door So board up all the windows And get down on the floor A dragon, a dragon, I swear I saw a dragon His tail lashing, he'll be smashing every shop in town With scaly feet, he'll crack the street, and tear the steeple down It's not some looney dream, I heard a scream from Sheriff Brown It's true, it's true Oh, what are we to do? It's true, it's true Ole Lampie's in a stew A dragon, a dragon, Ole Lampie saw a dragon He's bleary-eyed, he's ossified, he's tighter than a tick He had too much to drink today, so call a doctor quick I better take him home to bed, before you make him sick We're sunk, we're sunk Go on with ye, ya drunk A dragon, a dragon, he says he saw a dragon The game is done, you've had your fun My dad's been through enough So won't you all behave yourselves? I don't want any guff You're like a bunch of little boys who play at being tough You'll see, you'll see You've met your match in me Oh, you always jeer and laugh and sneer But look across the square Alright, we'll go and take a look Good Lord Good Lord There's absolutely Nothing anywhere, it was there A dragon, a dragon I swear there was a dragon Your off your hinges, all those minges put you in a haze You crazy fools, it's all your doggone fault he's in a daze Let go off me, let go off me And mend your wicked ways What makes you think there ever was You know there, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never Was a dragon A dragon
