Darcy The Dragon - Roger Whittaker

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
