After "I am a dragon, as mean as can be," the line can be any of the following:<br /><br />"I am a dragon, as mean as can be, And witch with french fries tastes delicious to me!" <br /><br />"I am a dragon, as mean as can be. And I'm planning to have WITCH AND CHIPS for my tea!" <br /><br />or "And you witch look like a good supper to me!"<br /><br /><br />Similarly, the version we have says, "The dragon drew nearer and started to drool. He said 'I won't let you go - do you think I'm a fool?' There is an alternative to this passage as well.<br /><br />We'll have to track down the CD!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879963606278201286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005372914824272046.post-43707862476406574472009-09-10T23:08:23.794-07:002009-09-10T23:08:23.794-07:00Hi Andrea,
