Puff and the Soup Dragon

Dear Puff the Magic Dragon It’s been so long a while I heard your friend has left you And that you no longer smile Soup is that really you? Yes, it’s been for ages How come you’ve just remembered me? How come these belated pages? Oh Puff don’t be so bitter You know that long ago You chose your dear friend Jackie And to me you whispered go Jackie is my friend no more But tell me all about you You’re famous for Green Soup And String Pudding made of Blue Yes I pass the time away But sometimes feel incomplete Baby Soup and I have made a life And we try to make ends meet So what about your Mr Soup A luckier dragon could never have been With you and Baby Soup around He must be happy with this scene Oh Puff you foolish dragon Don’t you really have a clue? There has never been a Mr Soup I only lived for you How is Baby Soup Does he have a gigantic tail? Does he shout and roar out his name? Does he have green scale? He’s fun in a magical way And prone to being carefree He frolics in the Lunar Mist By the Sea of Tranquillity Why don’t you and Baby Soup Take the next space ship Come and visit Honah Lee It will be a worthwhile trip Puff I can’t just up and leave For I’m contracted again Another series of the Clangers Will force me to remain But I haven’t seen you in so long And Jackie Paper comes no more And I am now all alone And I’ve ceased my fearless roar Oh Puff you silly Dragon You can still roar out your name Why don’t you come fly out here And your Magic you can reclaim Okay, it doesn’t sound too bad A planetary trip is good Do you really want to see me Soup? Do you really think we could? Oh Puff the Magic Dragon Who lived by the sea What became of the dragons Puff We used to be?
