(sp? On - A - Lee) Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff and brought him strings and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff Chorus. Together they would travel, on a boat with billowed sails. Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's giagantic tail. Noble kings and princes , would bow when 'er they came; and pirate ships would lower their flag, when Puff roared out his name. Chorus. Dragons live forever, but not so little boys. Painted wings and giants wings, make way for other toys. One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more. And Puff that mighty dragon, ceased his fearless roar. Chorus. His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain Puff no longer came to play along the cherry lane Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave. So Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave. Chorus. Chorus I liked it a lot when I was little. I don't think I really understood it. It is very sad. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny - Personetics @ (408) 425-0382 109 Torrey Pine Terr. Santa Cruz, Calif. 95060 ihnp4!pesnta -\ fortune!idsvax -> scc!steiny ucbvax!twg -/
