The Inflatable Dragon

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
