Puff the Magic Dragon - Peter Paul and Mary

A song for the past simple - I remember singing this as a kid :) (And no it is not a reference to smoking magic tobacco!) NB a few difficult words!






Puff the Magic Dragon
Puff, the magic dragon ....................... (live) by the sea
And .......................... (frolic) in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper ................... (love) that rascal Puff
And ................... (bring) him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh
Chorus
Puff, the magic dragon ..................... (live) by the sea
And ....................... (frolic) in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon ...................... (live) by the sea
And ....................... (frolic) in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Together they ..................... (will) travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout ......................... (perch) on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they ................. (come)
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff ................. (roar) out his name, oh

Chorus

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giants rings make way for other toys
One gray night it ........................ (happen), Jackie Paper .................. (come) no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ......................... (cease) his fearless roar
His head ......................... (be) bent in sorrow, green scales ................... (fall) like rain
Puff no longer .......................... (go) to play along the cherry lane
Without his life-long friend, Puff ........................ (can) not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly .......................... (slip) into his cave, oh

Chorus
