The Inflatable Dragon by Vic Zarley
A dragon I had ordered to inflate and cause a fright
Came within the mail in a box so small and bright
I opened it so eagerly and laid it out with care
But as I stretched the dragon out, it seemed to ask for air
Chorus Blow me up blow me up
I'm a dragon, can't you see
Blow me up blow me up right away
Blow me up blow me up
Let me show you all of me
Blow me up blow me up, I say
And so I slowly blew it up—I gave it all I had
And as that dragon came to life, I saw that he was mad
Tiny sparks of anger seemed to shoot right from his eyes
And as I plugged his air hole up, I was hypnotized (no chorus)
It roared and bit and scratched and spit those flames all over me
And when my parents popped it how I cried so desperately
They said they didn't know that I had ordered such a pet
But since I did they had no choice and said with some regret
Blow it up blow it up
It's a dragon, can't you see
Blow it up blow it up right away
(and then Mom said) Blow it up blow it up
Whoa…it's coming after me
Blow it up blow it up, I say
When the tears had dried and I could see what had been done
The furniture was scorched but I had had a lot of fun
There within the box I saw, and shouted so with glee
The dragon I had ordered had a three year warranty
(First chorus twice, end)
The Dragon by Vic Zarley
It happened in the office
As clear as clear could be
A dragon peeking through my door
Blew its flames at me
The desk in which I sat serene
Seemed cluttered so I hurried
The pesky dragon breathed its flames
consuming me with worry
I put my head upon the desk
The dragon felt secure
I let God's thoughts of peace flow in
I knew that was the cure
The dragon grew so angry that
He burst right through the door
I raised my head to look at him
As he began to roar-I thought:
Oh, dragon dragon dragon
How did you come to be?
Are you something that I thought?
Perhaps persistently?
Do you have to be so real?
How can I douse your flames?
Every time I'm angry am I
Calling you by name?

The dragon raised its huge head high
Its eyes were dots of fire
I felt a peace within me that
Had grown by my desire
The dragon breathed its fire out
Then belched black smoke at me
But peace and love grew stronger still
'Til all that I could see
Was how my world was ordered
With God's peace and love and joy
I started laughing at the dragon
And his hateful ploy
The dragon opened up its mouth
To eat my smiling face
But turned into a cloud of smoke
And drifted from this place
I smiled and took a healthy breath
That dragon was no more
But someone's screaming out my name
Behind the boss's door
What do they say about me?
Is it true or false? I fear
Oh, no! Another dragon's
Blowing fire in my ear
