Lyrics

Puff the Magic Dragon

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. 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 puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow wheneer 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.

Information About Puff the Magic Dragon

Peter Yarrow and Leonard Lipton wrote the song "Puff, the Magic Dragon" which was then recorded in 1963 by the group Peter, Paul and Mary.

Leonard Lipton was influenced by a poem by Ogden Nash called 'Custard the Dragon", when as a 19-year-old Cornell student he wrote the lyrics of a song that was to eventually become 'Puff the Magic Dragon'.

The lyrics speak about the fantastic adventures of an ageless dragon named Puff and a young boy called Jackie Paper. When Jackie grows up he loses interest in the adventures of childhood and thereafter leaves Puff depressed and lonely. The story takes place in the imaginary "land called honah lee".
