Verse 1.

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

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea, and 

Frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee. 

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea, and 

Frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee. 

Verse 2.

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 whenever they came; 

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.

CHORUS

Verse 3.

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, he ceased his fearless

roar.

Verse 4.

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.

Verse 5.

Little Johnny Paper heard the news of Puff, and

understood that dragon lives were sometimes very rough.

And so he rolled his wheelchair along the beach one day,

And yelled for Puff, that mighty friend, to come outside and play.

Verse 6.

Puff saw Jackie’s brother when he opened up one eye, 

So Johnny rolled right up to him and smiled and said “Hi!”

Together now they travel on the boat with billowed sail; 

Johnny keeps a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail. 

Verse 7.

Together they have rescued the dolphins caught in nets,

And saved the turtles caught in ropes and kept some as their pets.

They saved the battered sailors whose boat had crashed on rocks,

And towed their ship and cargo back to safety at the docks.

Verse 8.

They rescued seals and seagulls tied up by ocean trash;

And saved the pilot in his raft whose plane was in a crash; 

They sail with whales and dolphins under sunny skies;

And watch the golden sun go down and silver moon arise.

CHORUS

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lives by the sea 

And frolicks in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee. 

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lives by the sea 

And frolicks in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee.
