"Puff, the Magic Dragon" (or just "Puff") is an American folk song written by #PeterYarrow of #PeterPaulAndMary from a poem by #LeonardLipton. It was made popular by Peter, Paul and Mary in a 1962 recording released in January 1963. Lipton wrote a poem about a #dragon in 1959, and, when Yarrow found it, he wrote the lyrics to "Puff" based on the poem. After the song was released, Yarrow searched for Lipton to give him credit for the song.
