The song is sad. It’s about when boys grow up and leave childish things behind. Their fascination goes from Puff the Magic Dragon to Tiffany the Nasty Pussy.

The guy who wrote the poem was a student at Cornell with Peter Yarrow. It's highly unlikely Bali Hai had anything to do with it.

Yes; the song is very sad (IMO).
