The texts of “Puff the Magic Dragon" is based on a 1959 poem written by Leonard Lipton, a nineteen year’s old Cornell student. Lipton is inspired by an Ogden Nash poem titled "Custard the Dragon" on realia A ", Trulia little pet dragon." Lipton passed his poem about a friend and fellow Cornell student Peter Yarrow, who created music and more text for the poem in the song.

This lyrics tell a story of the ageless dragon Puff and his partner Jackie Paper, a child grow up and lose interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves Puff alone and depressed. The story of the song takes place "at sea" in the fictional country Honalee.

A 1978 cartoon special, Puff the Magic Dragon, fits the song. Was follow by two sequels, Puff and the Land of life lies, and Puff and the Incredible Mr. Nobody? In all three films Burgess Meredith Puff expression.

Puff The Magic Dragon Lyrics

Puff; The Magic Dragon Lived By The Sea
And Frolicked In The Autumn Mist In A Land Called Honaaah Lee;
Little Jackie Paper Loved Thaat 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 Honaaah Lee;
Puff; The Magic Dragon Lived By The Sea
And Frolicked In The Autumn Mist In A Land Called Honaaah 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 Naame. Oh!

Puff; The Magic Dragon Lived By The Sea
And Frolicked In The Autumn Mist In A Land Called Honaaah Lee;
Puff; The Magic Dragon Lived By The Sea
And Frolicked In The Autumn Mist In A Land Called Honaaah 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 Thaat 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 Thaat 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 Honaaah Lee;
Puff; The Magic Dragon Lived By The Sea
And Frolicked In The Autumn Mist In A Land Called Honaaah Lee.
