Puff The Magic Dragon Peter, Paul and Mary (1963) 1958 | (Riverboat 372) Joe Saltel |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff
Four boys promenade, go once around the ring
Come on back and swing your girl and promenade
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Head (side) two couples square thru, count four hands and then
Find the corner lady make a right hand star my friend
Heads (sides) star by the left now, go once around the ring
Find the corner girl, touch 1/4 there
Scoot back, go boy; scoot back, go girl
Star thru with the corner, then promenade that world
Oh Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name
Four little ladies promenade, go once around the ring
Come on back and swing your girl and promenade
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar
Four boys promenade, go once around the ring
Come on back and swing your girl and promenade
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
Contains a "blended" movement: Scoot Back followed by Star Thru.
