Darcy The Dragon Lyrics - 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
