Wow -- Mary Travers is the freak'in "mom" mtRNA|DNA to Gisel Bündchen, among the recent decade's mega-top-dollar-paid fashions models ever...whereas, many contemporaneous critics et al narrow thinkers, discounted Mary's "strong looks" as, at best, a cruder version of the "Julie Christie school of peroxide-locks"; whereas, in retrospect--at least for newer generations--review of the ubber-graphical stagings, w/high-key lighting, proves my salient point. Not my type, but lookers all the same
I love this song beacause my mother sany it to me when i was just a kid! Always i smile when i hear this and also sad kus my mother has died but she forever be in my heart and soul!!!
well,it's obvious they admired them and proceeded to memorize the lyrics and either find a translation to it as well.. the same as I do when I listen to a japanese song. :)
One of the greatest songs ever! A song about a child's imagination and dreams and the child's special friend. This is about dreams, hopes and being a child. All of us either were a child or are still a child at heart and those who cannot remember being a child are forever doomed to be unhappy. All we have is dreams and our imagination and we all need to let the child inside to come out and be free. There is not, nor has there ever been any connection to dope. Prove there is no Santa Claus!
I feel so sorry about the ending of the song. It's so sad. They leave Puff all sad without a friend with him. They should've wrote the lyrics with him coming back or with some happy ending for Puff.
OK. You are a moron. Here, courtesy of Wikipedia, is where the lyrics of the song came from:
The lyrics for "Puff, the Magic Dragon" were based on a 1959 poem by Leonard Lipton, a nineteen-year-old Cornell student. Lipton was inspired by an Ogden Nash poem titled "Custard the Dragon," about a "realio, trulio little pet dragon."
Now quit shoving your BS around on all the videos of this wonderful children's song. Go off and be a moron some place else.
Lol Wikipedia is VERY accurate you strung out base addict. You even gor the lyrics wrong. "Painted wings and Giants RINGS". and how do you get that last one? #7? Which is also the incorrect lyric. Before you go trying to analyze....well anything, go take of your stupid hat and ask yourself...."who am I crapping?"

me & someone made this One fine day it happened. Puff woke from a dream.
He thought he heard a familiar voice and Jackie's laugh, it seemed.
He looked around his cavern, and over near the door
Stood a little boy with a piece of string and a smile he'd seen before.
"Hello, my name is Billy, my dad told me your name.
He said Id find you in the cave along the Cherry Lane.
Puff, the magic dragon, smiled in his joy.
He'd never be alone again, for this was Jackie's little boy

@giraffeman3705 puff the magic dragon live by the sea,
and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honalee
"come with me" said billy, "i've come to reunite"
puff that mighty dragon walked right out into the light
across the hilly mountains it seemed to be so far
stood jackie paper waving arms with what seemed it was a jar!
inside the jar a telescope all worn out and so old
puff looked back up at jackie paper looking very bold!

Yes, it was written about drugs, especially marijuana.
1. PUFF the magic DRAGon (What else do you do to a marijuana cigarette?)
2. Fantasy land of Hanalee (Tripping)
3. Jackie PAPER (rolling papers)
4. Loved that rascal PUFF (dug pot)
5. Painted wings and giant things (hallucinating)
6. Jackie Paper came no more (Enter rehab)
7. Ceased his mighty roar (not getting the same high)
It's all there. Open your eyes. Peter Yarrow denied it because he grew out of that stage.
