Fred Small - The Peace Dragon lyrics

The peace dragon sleeps in a cave in a cliff on a crystal sea It wakes when sunlight slips inside with a fine good morning breeze Then it snaps its tail and cracks its claws and beats its giant wings And it rides the rivers of the sky and peace to all it brings. CHORUS: Oh it snaps its tail and cracks its claws and beats its giant wings and it rides the rivers of the sky and peace to all it brings. For breakfast it likes nothing more than missiles that go crunch A nuclear submarine sandwich really hits the spot for lunch For dessert perhaps a neutron bomb washed down with a chemical brew Digesting deadly weapons seems a peaceful thing to do. CHORUS The general stamped his foot and swore he'd slay that lizard of peace He launched a secret rocket while the dragon lay sound asleep But friendly bats with sonar ears their serpent pal awoke And one quick snort from a fiery snout sent the rocket right up in smoke. CHORUS Children wave and shout hello when it flies overhead It calls to people, "Please don't fight but think and talk instead Don't send your young ones off to war, don't poison all the earth When you're truly big and strong you'll understand what peace is worth." CHORUS
