Puff the Tootin' Dragon

Parody of "Puff the Magic Dragon" ©copyright 1963 by Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul, & Mary) / BMG Gold Songs and WB Music Corp. [Trombone Intro] [Verse 1] Puff, the tootin’ dragon lived beside the bay And blasted all the autumn leaves for half a mile away Little Jackie Paper loved that gassy Puff And brought him beans and cabbage rolls and other stinky stuff [Chorus] Oh, Puff, the tootin’ dragon burped and swished his tail And every time he cut one loose, the cows would faint and wail Puff, the tootin’ dragon had a fiery rear The townsfolk kept a bucket handy anytime he’d cheer [Verse 2] Together they would travel over waves so dark and pale Jackie wore two clothespins while he rode Puff’s scaly tail Noble kings and princes all ran whene’er he came Pirate ships would sink in flames when Puff just “tooted” flame [Chorus] Oh, Puff, the tootin’ dragon let one rip with glee And sent the ducks and fishermen all scrambling wildly free Puff, the tootin’ dragon tooted flames with pride And roasted half the picnic carts that lined the countryside [Short Trombone Interlude] [Verse 3 - Slowing and More Somber] A dragon toots forever, but not so, little boys Who leave behind the noisy games and smelly little joys One dark night it happened, little Jackie came no more And Puff let out a lonely toot that shook the village store... [Verse 4] His fire dimmed in sorrow, teardrops fell like rain Puff no longer scorched the trees or lit up farmer’s grain Without his dearest playmate, Puff no longer played So Puff, that gassy dragon hid inside his smoky cave... [Final Chorus] Puff, the tootin’ dragon lived beside the shore And every tiny toot he made would rattle every door Puff, the tootin’ dragon puffed with all his might And accidentally barbequed three outhouses one night Puff, the tootin’ dragon lived beside the bay And scorched the fields of pumpkin vines a half, a, mile, a-way...
