作曲：Frank Turner

I was taking compass bearings

for the Ordnance Survey

On an army training camp

on Salisbury plain

I had packed up my theodolite

I 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 blossoms 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

I 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 seemed 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
