I Saw a Dragon Lyrics – Helen Reddy

I Saw a Dragon Text

---

A dragon, a dragon,
I swear I saw a dragon,
A green and seething,
fire breathing monsterous in sight!
with eyes of red and lions head
and wings as dark as night
He has a jaw of gleaming teeth,
he's fifty feet in height!

It's true, it's true
oh what are we to do?
It's true, it's true,
he'll break us all in two!

Oh he's coming in,
his great big fin is right against the door!
So board up all the windows
and get down on the floor.....

A dragon, a dragon,
I swear I saw a dragon!
His tail lashing,
he'll be smashing,
every shop in town!
With scaley feet,
he'll crack the street
and tear the steeple down!
It's not some looney dream,
I heard a scream from sherrif brown!

It's true, it's true
oh what are we to do?
It's true, it's true,
'ole lampie's in a stew!

! dragon, a dragon,
'ole lampie saw a dragon!
He's bleary eyed,
he's ossified,
he's tighter than a tick!
He had too much to drink today
so call a doctor quick!
I better take him home to bed
before you make him sick!

We're sunk, we're sunk!
Go on with ye, ya drunk,

A dragon, a dragon,
he says he saw a dragon!
The game is done,
you've had your fun,
my dad's been through enough!
So won't you all behave yourselves?
I don't want any guff!
Your like a bunch of little boys who play at being tough!

You'll see, you'll see,
you've met your match in me!
Oh you always jeer and laugh and sneer
but look across the square,
alright we'll go and take a look...

GOOD LORD!

GOOD LORD!

There's ab-sol-ut-ley....
nothing anywhere!
It was there!

A dragon, a dragon,
I swear there was a dragon!

Your off your hinges,
all those minges
put you in a haze


You crazy fools,
it's your doggone fault he's in a daze
Let go of me, let go of me
and mend your wicked ways!


What makes you think there ever was,
there, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never,
WAS A DRAGON!

A DRAGON!
