Текст песни The Armadillo - Flanders , Swann
I
was
taking
compass
bearings
for
the
Ordinance
Survey
By
an
army
training
camp
on
Salisbury
Plain,
I
had
packed
up
my
theodolite,
was
calling
it
a
day,
When
I
heard
a
voice
that
sang
a
sad
refrain:
'Oh,
my
darling
Armadillo,
Let
me
tell
you
of
my
love,
Listen
to
my
Armadillo
roundelay;
Be
my
fellow
on
my
pillow,
Underneath
this
weeping
willow,
Be
my
darling
Armadillo
all
the
day.'
I
was
somewhat
disconcerted
by
this
curious
affair,
For
a
single
Armadillo,
you
will
own,
On
Salisbury
Plain,
in
summer,
is
comparatively
rare,
And
a
pair
of
them
is
practically
unknown.
Drawn
by
that
mellow
solo,
There
I
followed
on
my
bike,
To
discover
what
these
Armadillo
lovers
would
be
like.
'Oh,
my
darling
Armadillo,
How
delightful
it
would
be,
If
for
us
those
silver
wedding
bells
would
chime,
Let
the
orange
blossom
billow,
You
need
only
say
'I
will'
oh,
Be
my
darling
Armadillo
all
the
time.'
Then
I
saw
them
in
a
hollow,
by
a
yellow
muddy
bank:
An
Armadillo
singing
to
an
armour-plated
tank!
Should
I
tell
him,
gaunt
and
rusting,
with
the
willow
tree
above,
This
- abandoned
on
manoeuvres
- is
the
object
of
your
love?
I
left
him
to
his
singing,
Cycled
home
without
a
pause,
Never
tell
a
man
the
truth
About
the
one
that
he
adores!
On
the
breeze
that
follows
sunset,
I
could
hear
that
sad
refrain,
Singing
willow,
willow,
willow
down
the
way;
And
I
seem
to
hear
it
still,
Oh,
vive
l'amore!
Vive
l'Armadillo!
'Be
my
darling
Armadillo
all
the
day.
Be
my
darling
Armadillo
all
the
day.'
