“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 ArmadillO dilloing in his armour, And I s'pose I never will,Unless I go to RioThese wonders to beholdRoll down—roll down to RioRoll really down to Rio!Oh, I'd love to roll to Rio Some day before I'm old!”
Kipling Rudyard 1865-1936
