"Puff The Magic Dragon"
Misheard Lyrics: Frollipin the Otamus
Original Lyrics: Frolicked in the autumn mist.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Anna My entire childhood I thought Puff The Magic Dragon & Frollipin The Otamus were friends. I thought he was kind of a cross between an otter & a hippo. I was devestated to find out at age 18 that Frollipin never existed. |
Song Parody Fragments:
"Puff The Magic Dragon"
Better Lyrics:
Puff, my ass is draggin', it's 103
I'd like to lick a cooling mist or be splashing in the sea
Puff, my ass is draggin', it's 103
I'd like to lick a cooling mist or be splashing in the sea
I'd like to lick a cooling mist or be splashing in the sea
Puff, my ass is draggin', it's 103
I'd like to lick a cooling mist or be splashing in the sea
Original Lyrics:
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee

"Marvelous Little Toy"
The Lyrics: It went zip when it moved
and pop when it stopped, Whir when it stood still, I never knew just what it was, and I guess I never will. Why: In one Christmas concert, P,P&M called audience members who didn't make the required noises "yuppies".
