Puff the Magic dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalae

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff and brought him string and sealing wax and other fancy stuff

CHORUS: Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalae

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalae

Together they would travel on a ship with billowed sail, Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail

Noble kings and princes would bow where're they came

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name (CHORUS)

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys, Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys

One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more and Puff that mighty dragon 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

(CHORUS)

Jackie grew to manhood and had children of his own. and one of them, exploring, soon discovered Puff's old home

That girl became Puff's friend just as Jackie had before,

and then the valley rang again with Puff's deilghted roar (CHORUS)
