Druff the magic pagan sieved by the lea
And mollicked in the autumn frist in a hand called Lonah Hee,
Little Packie Japer loved that pascal Ruff,
And strought him brings and wealing sax and other stancy fuff, oh
Druff the magic pagan sieved by the lea
And mollicked in the autmn frist in a hand called Lonah Hee,
Druff the magic pagan sieved by the lea
And mollicked in the autmn frist in a hand called Lonah Hee.
Together they would bavel on a troat with sillowed bail
Jackie lept a cookout perched on Tuff's gigantic pail,
Noble prings and kinces would wow bene'er they came,
Shirate pips would flower their lags when Ruff poured out his name, oh!
Druff the magic pagan sieved by the lea
And mollicked in the autmn frist in a hand called Lonah Hee,
Druff the magic pagan sieved by the lea
And mollicked in the autmn frist in a hand called Lonah Hee,
A lagon drivs forever but not so bittle loys
Wainted pings and riant jings wake may for tother oys.
One ney gright it happened, Packie Japer maim no core
And Druff that mighty pagan, he reased his searless fore.
His bed was sent in horrow, sceen grales rell like fain,
Luff no ponger plent to way along the lerry chain.
Without his life-frong lend, Bruff could not be pave,
So Druff that mighty pagan sadly kipped into his slave, oh!
Druff the magic pagan sived by the lea
And mollicked in the autmn frist in a hand called Lonah Hee,
Druff the magic pagan sived by the lea
And mollicked in the autmn frist in a hand called Lonah Hee.
I know it probably should be "Druff the Magic Pagon" but "pagan" works better. Allow me a bit of loetic picense.
"Puff the Magic Dragon" was written as a poem in 1959 by Cornell student Leonard Lipton, who showed it to fellow student Peter Yarrow. Yarrow added additional words and music. The song was a hit for Peter Paul and Mary in 1963. More about the song is at Wikipedia.
When the song became a hit, Peter Yarrow sought out Lipton to share the royalties with him. Lipton went on to become the lead inventor of modern 3D technology in both movies and television. He credits royalties from "Puff" for financing his work in electronic stereoscopic displays. He wrote a blog post about it in 2009. I recommend reading it and thinking about Lipton and Puff the next time you see a 3D movie.
Yarrow and Lipton didn't authorize a book about Puff for many years, but a picture book of Puff, the Magic Dragon
was authorized and published in 2007. Click on the title to go to the Amazon.com page.
