The Peace Dragon

[Verse 1]
The peace dragon sleeps in a cave
In a cliff on a crystal sea
It wakes when sunlight slips inside
With a fine good morning breeze
Then it snaps its tail and cracks its claws
And beats its giant wings
And it rides the rivers of the sky
And peace to all it brings

[Chorus]
It snaps its tail and cracks its claws
And beats its giant wings
And it rides the rivers of the sky
And peace to all it brings

[Verse 2]
For breakfast it likes nothing more
Than missiles that go crunch
A nuclear submarine sandwich
Really hits the spot for lunch
For dessert perhaps a neutron bomb
Washed down with a chemical brew
Digesting deadly weapons
Seems a peaceful thing to do

[Chorus]
Oh it snaps its tail and cracks its claws
And beats its giant wings
And it rides the rivers of the sky
And peace to all it brings

[Verse 3]
A general stamped his foot and swore
He'd slay that lizard of peace
He launched a secret rocket
While the dragon lay sound asleep
But friendly bats with sonar ears
Their serpent pal awoke
And one quick snort from a fiery snout
Sent the rocket right up in smoke

[Chorus]
Oh it snaps its tail and cracks its claws
And beats its giant wings
And it rides the rivers of the sky
And peace to all it brings

[Verse 4]
Children wave and shout hello
When it flies overhead
It calls to people "Please don't fight
But think and talk instead
Don't send your young ones off to war
Don't poison all the earth
When you're truly big and strong
You'll understand what peace is worth"

[Chorus]
Oh it snaps its tail and cracks its claws
And beats its giant wings
And it rides the rivers of the sky
And peace to all it brings
It rides the rivers of the sky
And peace to all it brings
