Lyrics By: LEONARD LIPTON
Music by: PETER YARROW

VERSE # 01:
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.

CHORUS:
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 # 02:
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 lower their flags
When Puff roared out his name.

VERSE # 03:
A dragon lives forever,
But not so little boys.
Painted wings and giant rings
Make way for other toys.
One gray night it happened.
Jackie Paper came no more,
And Puff, that mighty dragon,
Ceased his fearless roar.

VERSE # 04:
His head was bent in sorrow.
Green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend,
Puff could not be brave.
So Puff, that mighty dragon,
Sadly slipped into his cave.
