The Peace Dragon Lyrics - Singles - Small Fred

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: 

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. 

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 

The 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 

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
