Armadillo Pt. I

Armadillos, meaning "little armored ones" in Spanish

Are New World placental mammals in the order Cingulata

The Chlamyphoridae and Dasypodidae

Are the only surviving families in the order

Which is part of the superorder Xenarthra

Along with anteaters and sloths

Nine extinct genera and twenty-one extant species of armadillo have been described

Some which are distinguished by the number of bands on their armor

All speciеs are native to the Amеricas

Where they inhabit a variety of different environments

Carry an armor, roll into a ball

Dig down into the ground and crawl so that he'll never fall

Feels like a charmer, but he's a self-harmer

'Cause watching life from a distance is belittling and small

You gotta stand tall

(Armadillos are solitary animals that do not share their burrows with other adults)

Stand together with us all

It takes a village, then it takes a goal

First you raise a child and then you try and rise the soul

Once quite the charmer, now he's a self-harmer

'Cause watching life from a distance is belittling and small

You gotta stand tall

Stand together with us all

And you gotta take a chance

Take a leap of faith and dance

Better wear your heart on your sleeve

'Cause love is all around for you to receive

And it only takes one to dance

But two to tango, so get ready for romance

One love to rule them, one love to find them

One love to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

One love to rule them all, one love to find them

One love for spring and fall with starkness to unblind them

One love to rule them, one love to find them

One love to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

One love to rule them all, one love to find them

One love for spring and fall with starkness to unblind them

One love to rule them, one love to find them

One love to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

One love to rule them all, one love to find them

One love for spring and fall with starkness to unblind them

You gotta take a chance

Take a leap of faith and dance
