 Puff (The Magic Dragon)
Words and Music by Peter Yarrow and Leonard Lipton, 1963.

1. Pi-rate ships would low'r their flag when Puff roared out  his  name. Oh!
2. Puff that might-y   drag-on,         he   ceased his  fear-less roar. Oh!
3. Puff that might-y   drag-on,    sad - ly  slipped  in-to his    cave. Oh!
