Puff, the Magic Dragon    (RIV 372)  Joe Saltel

OPENER



Grand Square
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.
Four boys Promenade, go once around the ring.
Come on back and Swing your girl and Promenade.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

FIGURE



Head [side] two couples Square Thru, count four hands and then,
Find the corner lady make a Right Hand Star my friend.
Heads [sides] Star by the left now, go once around the ring.
Find the corner girl, Touch 1/4 there
Scoot Back, go boy; Scoot Back, go girl
Star Thru with the corner, then Promenade that world.
Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

MIDDLE BREAK



Grand Square
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail.
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail.
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came.
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name.
Four little ladies Promenade, go once around the ring.
Come on back and Swing your girl and Promenade
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

CLOSER



Grand Square
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys.
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One gray night it happened, Jackie paper came no more.
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
Four boys Promenade, go once around the ring.
Come on back and Swing your girl and Promenade.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
