Пафф, Волшебный Дракон

[systemity]

Песня о нестареющем драконе Паффе и его приятеле
Джеки Пэйпере впервые исполнена в 1963 году

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 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 look-out perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes
Would bow whene'er 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 rings
Make way for other toys
One grey 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 play
Along the cherry lane
Without his life-long friend
Puff could not be brave
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

По тексту песни Джеки Пэйпер носил Паффу струны и канифоль. Это означает, что Пафф предпочитал исполнять лирическую музыку на струнных инструментах, а не погружаться в безумный треск метала
