Puff the Magic Dragon

Already rumors are beginning to filter cross country About the marvelous songs of a group called, And don't laugh, this is really the name of The group, Peter, Paul and Mary. And, uh, You all Buddhists or something? But Peter Yarrow, the fellow who plays the part Of Peter in the group- That's all right. You see, it's Peter and Mary Are right, but the other guy, Paul, is, is, Is really named Noel. Anyway, Peter Yarrow wrote a children's song that is Probably one of the most beautiful songs we have Come across. We sang it once at Mike's Pub And, uh, you remember Mike's Pub. You remembered it when you went in, but you Don't know if you remember when you came out. And, uh, so many people liked it, we decided To incorporate it into our act, and it's a Children's song. And When you really stop and think about it, not Too many children write songs, and it's right that Way because children's songs are always written by Adults for children. And a funny thing happens to an adult when He tries to write a children's song. He slips into that vague nether world of childlike Thinking, and that's the time, Sometimes, most of the time, When adulthood is most beautiful. It's when you become somewhat of a child, Because if you're a man, you're still a man, And yet there's a childlike quality. If you're a woman, you're still a woman, and There's that ch-same childlike quality. The same thing happens when you sing a children's Song. So if we can all kind of unhunch Our shoulders and relax a little bit And sing the chorus of this song, maybe we Can do something for ourselves, okay? Chorus goes like this. Puff the Magic Dragon Lived by the sea. He frolicked in the autumn mist in a land Called Honah Lee. Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea, Frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. And he really exists if you really believe it, So let's try that. Oh. Puff the Magic Dragon-Atta way. Lived by the sea. He frolicked in the autumn mist in a land Called Honah Lee. Good. Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff. Brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy Stuff. Let's hear you. Oh, Puff the Magic Dragon lived by The sea. Frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. Together they'd go sailing on a ship with billowed Sails. Jackie Paper kept a lookout perched on Puff's Gigantic tail. Then one day it happened, Jackie Paper came no More. So Puff, that mighty dragon, let out a tear And a roar. Oh, Puff the Magic Dragon Lived by the sea. Frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee. Now hum it. His eyes filled with tears, Green scales fell like rain. Puff no longer went to play Along the cherry lane.
