The Beginning Of The Armadillos (poem)

by Rudyard Kipling

　　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 He's 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!
