The Beginning Of The Armadilloes
I've never sailed the Amazon,
I've never reached Brazil;
But the
Don
and
Magdalena
,
They can go there when they will!
Yes, weekly from Southampton
Great steamers, white and gold,
Go rolling down to Rio
(Roll down — roll down to Rio!).
And I'd like to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old!
I've never seen a Jaguar,
Nor yet an Armadill-
O dilloing in his armour,
And I s'pose I never will,
Unless I go to Rio
These wonders to behold —
Roll down — roll down to Rio —
Roll really down to Rio!
Oh, I'd love to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old!
