Puff, The Magic Dragon

I think that the song Puff, The Magic Dragon is sooooooo sad ... but still i like it so much, i dunno why. anyone else why thinks it's really sad but still can't help liking it??

 

Yeah..love the song

 

We used to sing it in primary school when I was about 6. I don't think our teacher was fully clued in as to all the meanings you could get from those lyrics....

 

I like that song, and everybody always tells me it has drug meanings to it. I know that the Puff the Magic Dragon part could be about smoking or something, but the rest of the song really has no drug references, does it?

 

I really can't find a reason why the lyrics of this song should be about drugs.

 

ohh and so "along comes mary" isnt about weed either???

puff the magic dragon is a song from the 60s with children storybook imagery, its definitely about getting high.....
