Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee
[Verse 2]
Little Jackie paper
Loved that rascal puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff
[Verse 3]
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee
[Verse 4]
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee
[Verse 5]
Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a look out, perched on Puff's gigantic tail
[Verse 6]
Noble kings and princes
Would bow when e'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags
When Puff roared out his name
[Verse 7]
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee
[Verse 8]
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee
[Verse 9]
A dragon lives forever
But not so little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings
Make way for other toys
[Verse 10]
One grey night it happened
Jackie paper came no more
And, Puff, that mighty dragon
He ceased his fearless roar
[Verse 11]
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane
[Verse 12]
Without his life long friend
Puff could not be brave
So puffy, that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave
[Verse 13]
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee
[Verse 14]
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honalee
