Ten Dizzy Dragons

Ten dizzy dragons,

Lived long, long ago,

In a land full of magic,

Where people could go.

The first dragon wore a garland of flowers;

The second dragon had strong magic powers.

The third dragon flew wildly through the air;

The fourth dragon lived in a jewel-filled lair.

The fifth dragon rescued people in trouble;

The sixth dragon liked to blow pretty bubbles.

The seventh dragon wore a crown made of gold;

The eighth dragon had a heart brave and bold.

The ninth dragon had a breath of smoky red fire;

The tenth dragon was a terrible, awful liar.

Ten dizzy dragons,

Lived long, long ago,

In a land full of magic,

Where in your dreams you can go.

Five Little Dragons

Five little dragons with great big scales,

One lost his balance and bumped his tail.

He cried, “Ouch!” and breathed some fire,

And then he flew away, higher and higher.

One lost his balance and bumped his tail.

He cried, “Ouch!” and breathed some fire,

And then he flew away, higher and higher.

One lost his balance and bumped his tail.

He cried, “Ouch!” and breathed some fire,

And then he flew away, higher and higher.
