Roger Whittaker - 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
