Dreams of a Kitten

in a land called Honah Lee

Little Jackie Paper

loved that rascal Puff

And brought him strings, 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 lookout

perched on Puff's gigantic tail

Noble kings and princes

would bow whenever they came

Pirate ships would lower their flags

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's rings

make way for other toys

One gray night it happened,

Jackie Paper came no more

And Puff, that mighty dragon,

he ceased his fearless roar

His head was bent in sorrow,

green scales fell like rain

Puff no longer went to play

along the cherry lane

Without his lifelong friend,
