1. Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other gold.

2. A circle is round,

it has no end. That's how long, I will be your friend.

3. A fire burns bright,

it warms the heart. We've been friends, from the very start.

4. You have one hand,

I have the other. Put them together, We have each other.

5. Silver is precious, Gold is too. I am precious, and so are you.

6. You help me,

and I'll help you. and to-gether we will see it through.

7. The sky is blue,

The Earth is green. I can help to keep it clean

8. A-cross the land.

A-cross the sea. Friends forever We will al-ways be.

“Puff, The Magic Dragon” As recorded by: PeterYarrow with Bethany and Rufus

Verse #1:

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal, Puff,

And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh,

Chorus:

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee. Oh,

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

Verse #2:

Together they would travel on a boat with a billowed sail,

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail.

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

Pirate ships would low'r their flag when Puff roared out his name. Oh,

Chorus:

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee. Oh,

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

Verse #3:

A dragon lives forever, but not so little girls and boys,

Painted wings and giant’s rings make way for other toys.

One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

Verse #4:

His head was bent 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,

Chorus:

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee. Oh,

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
