Lyrics
Puff the Magic Dragon
As you may recall
Lived by the sea
Before his life was changed
By that infamous song
In it, he is portrayed
As frolicking in Honalee
Honalee was no place
For a dragon to be
There a fair maiden
Chained to a rock
Almost got poor Puff's
Block knocked off
By a knight on a fool's errand
For a king
Whose relation to the girl
Was dishonest
The upshot of the story
Was Puff had to flee
And forget about
Smoking friars and
Blowing freedom rings!
In the land of Honalee
