The Magic Drydened, lifted by the sun, and thrown in the autumn mist in Lentor, and finally, little Jackie Payburn, loved that rescue puff, and brought in strings and ceiling wax, and out of fancy stuff, together they were trebles, on a boat with bill's sail.Jackie's cattle look out burnt on puff's gigantic tail, no gold kings and princes, but wherever they came, pirates' ships would lower their flag when Puff was near, and the magic dragon, lifted by the sea, was thrown into the autumn mist in Lentor, and finally, little Jackie Payburn loved that rescue Puff and brought in strings and ceiling wax, and out of fancy stuff.
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys; paint wigs and giant rings make way for other toys. One great night it happened: Jackie Payburn came no more, and Puff, the mighty dragon, saw his fearless rock.
Oh, Puff the magic dragon, lifted by the sea and thrown into the autumn mist in Lentor, and finally, little Jackie Payburn loved that rescue Puff and brought in strings and ceiling wax, and out of fancy stuff.
His acquaintance sorrowed; scales fell like rain. Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane. Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be great, so Puff, the mighty dragon, sadly slept in his king's lair.
Oh, Puff the magic dragon, lifted by the sea and thrown into the autumn mist in Lentor, and finally, little Jackie Payburn loved that rescue Puff and brought in strings and ceiling wax, and out of fancy stuff.
