Puff the Magic Dragon...

I love this song!! (it's playing on my mp3 player now)

when I was five (now I am really showing my age) :rofl:

of course I do ;) Land of the lost was my favorite but I also liked Lidsville.

Too many wacky kids with dragons as pets.

Sure looks like one. & I ain't smokin nutin.

We may have someone here who's crewed on those things and can tell us. My Brother in Law was CargoMaster on the larger planes, but he's out of town right now.

"The aircraft, C-47 No. 43-48579, was ferried back to Bien Hoa where Terry and his crew mounted three of the GE Minigun pods in the cargo compartment. Two were mounted in the last two windows on the port side, while the third would fire out the open cargo door. A Mark 20 Mod 4 gunsight, the same as used in A-IE Skyraider fighter-bombers, was mounted in the left cockpit window. A trigger button, which could fire all three guns individually or simultaneously, was mounted on the pilot's control wheel."

"Puff (The Magic Dragon)"

Yeah...
Puff, the magic dragon,
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff.
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail.
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail.
Noble kings and princes
Would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags
When Puff roared out his name. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
A dragon lives forever,
But not little girls and boys.
Painted wings and giant rings
Make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon,
He ceased his fearless roar.
His head now bent in sorrow,
Green scales fell like rain,
And Puff no longer went to play
Along that cheery lane.
Without his life-long friend,
He could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave.
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
No...oh...Do you ever think about me anymore...no...yeah...say oh...

I still love it as a deeply ingrained childhood memory.

I can't sing, but sing along with it in my car. We meet again, and you're up late, again.:hi:

but that's OK, I was one myself.
