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.
Oh, 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)]
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 flag
[when Puff roared out his name].
Oh, 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)]
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant 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 life-long friend],
Puff could not be brave,
So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped [into his cave].
Oh, 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)]
