Paff, the Ma-gic Dra-goon lived by the sea,
And fro-licked in the au-tumn mist in a land called Han-na-lee,
Litt-le Ja-ckie Pa-per loved that ras-cel Paff,
And brought him strings and sea-ling vax and oth-er fan-cy stuff.

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sails, \par
Jackie kept a lookout first on Paff's gigantic tail, \par
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came, \par
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Paff roared out his name.

A dragoon lives forever bot not so little boys, \par
Painted wings and giant springs make way for other toys, \par
One grey night it happened Jackie Paper came no more, \par
Then Paff the Mighty Dragoon he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, his tears fell out like rain, \par
Paff no longer went to play along that cherry lane, \par
Without his life-long friend Paff could not be brave, \par
So Paff that Mighty Dragon suddenly slipped into his cave.
