Darcy The Dragon

Lyrics

Christmas was coming and Darcy the dragon
 Was thinking what he should do
 Go through the forest and into the village
 To pick up a gift or two
 For through the forest, dear Darcy had friends
 That he loved very much
 He thought it'd be fine, at Christmas time
 To give each a present or such
 But Darcy'd forgotten the very thing
 That makes a dragon unique
 Unlike a horse, a dragon, of course
 Breathes fire whenever he speaks
 Off to town, dear Darcy went
 But woe is me, oh lament
 Before a dragon penny was spent
 He'd started a tiny fire
 He said he was sorry, our Darcy did
 He helped put the fire out
 The folks forgave him for he'd been kind
 And off he went looking about
 Into the toyshop did Darcy go
 With thoughts of his forest friends
 "I'll buy each a game", he said with a flame
 And the second fire it was then
 And this time, when the fire was out
 The villagers charged along
 Pursuing Darcy with angry shouts
 'Be off, away, be gone!'
 Poor Darcy sparked, "No harm I meant"
 But from the village, he was sent
 And woe is me and oh lament
 No presents for his friends
 Darcy was sad
 As he sat at the edge of the forest, by and by
 No gifts would he have to offer his friends
 A tear rolled from his eye
 A storm did gather and soon did hit
 'Twas a mighty wind that blew
 And Christmas snow did whirl and blow
 And he wondered what to do
 As Darcy let out with a dragon's cry
 He opened his mouth so wide
 That the wind and snow went right down his throat
 And put out the fire inside
 When Darcy realized the fire was out
 First a whisper, then a shout
 And a laugh, to know
 That he could speak without starting another fire
 But now it was late, on a Christmas Eve
 He was up and off with a roar
 He raced to the village and he cried out
 "My fire! 'e un no more"
 From shop to shop, he then did go
 In each, he made his choice
 Darcy was treated so kindly now
 No need to fear his voice
 The villagers came to the edge of town
 And Darcy waved goodbye
 "Come back again, if ever you can", they said
 And he said that he'd try
 Merry Christmas, all did say
 As to the woods, he made his way
 Tomorrow will be Christmas day
 And a merry Christmas to thee
