经典歌曲-神龙璞夫Puff¹ the Magic Dragon Peter, Paul, & Mary

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal² Puff,

and brought him strings³ 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 Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

Jackie kept a lookout⁴ perched on Puff's gigantic tail,

Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,

Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name. Oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah 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 that mighty⁵ dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent⁶ 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 that 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 Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
