	I know this one, it is another one play and sing with
my friends on weekends:

Chorus:
	Puff the magic dragon,
		lived by the sea
	and frolicked in the autumn mist,
		in a land called Onalee.  (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.
