Puff, the magic dragon,

lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist

in a land called Honalee.

And brought him strings

and sealing wax and other fancy stuff,

And frolicked in the autumn mist
in a land called Honalee.

Puff, the magic dragon,

lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist

in a land called Honalee.

Together they would travel

on 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,

A dragon lives forever,

but not so little boys

Painted wings and giants's rings

make way for other toys.

One grey 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,
