I've never sailed the Amazon
I've never reached Brazil
But the rivers keep on calling
And I know they always will
From Southampton every week
Steamers shining, white and gold
Rolling down the ocean deep
Rolling stories to be told
Roll down, roll down to Rio
Feel the rhythm, feel the flow
Oh, I'd love to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old
Roll down, roll down to Rio
Hear the waves and watch them glow
Yeah, I'd love to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old
I've never seen a jaguar
Or an armadillo's shell
But I dream of their wild wonders
In a land I know so well
From Southampton every week
Steamers shining, white and gold
Rolling down the ocean deep
Rolling stories to be told
Roll down, roll down to Rio
Feel the rhythm, feel the flow
Oh, I'd love to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old
Roll down, roll down to Rio
Hear the waves and watch them glow
Yeah, I'd love to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old
Take me where the rivers meet
Where the stars fall on the sea
All the roads will lead to Rio
That's the place I want to be
Roll down, roll down to Rio
Feel the rhythm, feel the flow
Oh, I'd love to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old
Roll down, roll down to Rio
Hear the waves and watch them glow
Yeah, I'd love to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old
Roll down, roll down to Rio
Feel the rhythm, feel the flow
Oh, I'd love to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old
Roll down, roll down to Rio
Hear the waves and watch them glow
Yeah, I'd love to roll to Rio
Some day before I'm old
