lyrics

It’s a drag being a dragon
It’s frustrating breathing this fire
It gets in the way when I’m trying to sing
And I just want to join the church choir
It’s a drag being a dragon
It’s gruesome being this green
I try my best to be so friendly
But everyone thinks I am mean

I don’t want to eat a princess for my tea
I’d rather have crumpets and a nice piece of cheese
I have such good manners, I always say please
But everyone runs from me

It’s so sad being a dragon
I’m reluctant to use this big road
I want to do yoga, pilates, tai chi
Being loud, it just makes my throat sore
It’s too bad being a dragon
I’m not greedy ‘bout big piles of gold
I want to paint pictures, oh I want to dance
But they think that I’m mean, bad and cold

I don’t want to fight with a knight on a steed
I’d rather have a chat and work out what he needs
I’m a reasonable dragon, but no one pays heed
Everyone runs from me

It’s a drag being a dragon
Everyone runs from me!
