Puff the Magic Dragon
Puff is Written By Peter Yarrow and Leonard Tipton
Gruff, the Hep C dragon, is mean as he can be
He’s the virus in a Hepper’s blood that we call HCV
Little Jackie Hepper, he hates that rascal Gruff
And fought him with Peg and Rebetol and other fancy stuff, oh
Together they did travel on a journey rife with fear
Jackie kept on fighting and has finished up his year
Noble kings and princes would come from near and far
To see how Jackie beat old Gruff and achieved SVR
A year can seem forever, when you are on this tx
Life revolves around your meds and visits to your docs.
The sides can be quite rough and wear your spirit down
Jackie didn’t let Gruff win he chased him out of town.
Gruff’s head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
He’d lost the fight and never again could cause our Jackie pain.
The battle was a tough one, but Jackie did his stuff
He won the day and put away, that nasty dragon Gruff, oh
Gruff, the Hep C dragon, is mean as he can be
He’s the virus in a Hepper’s blood that we call HCV
Little Jackie Hepper, hates that rascal Gruff
And fought him with Peg and Rebetol and other fancy stuff, oh
