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!
