Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Green-Eyed Dragon (Newman & Charles)
Subject: Green-eyed Dragon with the thirteen tails..
Partial lyric: "Once there was a fair princess Most beautiful and charming and on her porch a dragon sat, with manners most alarming.......... ...(missing lines)... Beware, take care , of the green-eyed dragon with the 13 tails.. He'll feed, with greeed on little boys and puppy-dog tails, and big fat snails... So tuck your heads, your pretty curly heads beneath the clothes..."

There is more, about the dragon eating a "rich plum cake" and going to his demise...Anyone know the complete lyrics, composer, or source of this song? My father sang it to me at bedtime, 1948-49. Any info appreciated! mike@csmain.calswitch.com. 4/22/97
