Nina (From Argentina) - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Barker[00:00:00]
Seс orita nina from argentina knew all the answers[00:00:13]
Though her relatives and friends were perfect dancers[00:00:18]
She swore she'd never dance a step until she died[00:00:21]
She said I've seen too many movies and all they prove is too idiotic[00:00:25]
They all insist that south america's exotic[00:00:30]
Whereas it couldn't be more boring if it tried[00:00:33]
She added firmly that she hated[00:00:38]
The sound of soft guitars beside a still lagoon[00:00:40]
She also positively stated[00:00:45]
That she could not abide a southern moon[00:00:47]
She said I hate to be pedantic but I'm driven nearly frantic[00:00:51]
When I see that unromantic sycophantic lot of[00:00:55]
Forever wriggling their guts[00:00:59]
It drives me absolutely nuts[00:01:03]
She refused to begin the beguine when they requested it[00:01:06]
And she made an embarrassing scene if anyone suggested it[00:01:14]
For she detested it[00:01:20]
Though no-one ever could be keener than little nina[00:01:26]
On quite a number of very eligible men who did the rhumba[00:01:30]
When they proposed to her she simply left them flat[00:01:35]
She said that love should be impulsive but not convulsive[00:01:39]
And syncopation had a discouraging effect on procreation[00:01:44]
And that she'd rather read a book and that was that[00:01:50]
She declined to begin the beguine when they besought her to[00:01:58]
And with language profane and obscene she cursed the man who taught her to[00:02:04]
She cursed cole porter too[00:02:10]
From this it's fairly clear that nina in her demeanour[00:02:17]
Was so offensive that when the hatred of her friends grew too intensive[00:02:21]
She thought she'd better beat it while she had the chance[00:02:26]
After some trial and tribulation she reached the station[00:02:30]
And met a sailor who had acquired a wooden leg in venezuela[00:02:36]
And so he married him because he couldn't dance[00:02:41]
There surely never could've been a[00:02:45]
More irritating girl than nina[00:02:48]
They never speak in argentina[00:02:52]
Of this degenerate bambina[00:02:55]
Who had the luck to find romance[00:02:59]
But resolutely wouldn't dance[00:03:03]
She wouldn't dance[00:03:12]
