(Chorus:)
Pen, 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 Pen,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy ken. Oh
(Chorus, twice)
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Pen's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Pen roared out his name. Oh
(Chorus)
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Pen that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Pen no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Pen could not be brave,
So Pen that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh
(Chorus, softly)
(Chorus, loudly)
Well, not a eulogy precisely, but we shall all miss Pendragon's mighty roar.
