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!
