Puff, the Magic Dragon  

(Altered Text in the series "Songs with positive texts")

~ Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea (Chorus)

and frolicked in the  autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee (*).

~ Little Jacky Paper loved that rascal Puff

and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

(Chorus)

~ Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail,

Jacky kept a lockout perched on Puff's gigantic tail.

(Chorus)

~ Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,

pirate ships would low'r their flags when Puff roared out his name.

(Chorus)

~ A dragon lives forever, but men grow out of boys.

Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.

~ One night in may it happened: a maiden he did find.

To Puff he introduced his wife, and Puff was very kind.

(Chorus)

~ Their love grew strong for ever, they had a little boy.

And proudly father showed his sun his most beloved toy.

~ Puff spent manly power, the little prince grew strong.

Thus for ever we may sing this lovely dragon song.

~ Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea (Chorus)

and frolicked in the  autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

(*) Honah Lee = "Hanalei" (Town on the Hawaiian island of Kauaii).
