Rolling down to Rio

E. German

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!
