Nina - Noel Coward[00:00:00]
Written by:Noel Coward[00:00:01]
Senorita Nina from Argentina knew all the answers[00:00:13]
Although her relatives and friends were perfect dancers[00:00:17]
She swore she'd never dance a step until she died[00:00:20]
She said I've seen too many movies[00:00:24]
And all they prove is[00:00:27]
Too idiotic[00:00:28]
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[00:00:37]
The sound of soft guitars beside a still lagoon[00:00:39]
She also positively stated[00:00:44]
That she could not abide a southern moon[00:00:46]
She said I hate to be pedantic[00:00:50]
But it drives me nearly frantic[00:00:52]
When I see that unromantic sycophantic lot of sluts[00:00:53]
Forever wriggling their guts[00:00:58]
It drives me absolutely nuts[00:01:01]
She refused to begin the beguine when they requested it[00:01:05]
And she made an embarrassing scene if anyone suggested it[00:01:12]
For she detested it[00:01:18]
Though no one ever could be keener than little Nina[00:01:24]
On quite a number of very eligible men who did the rhumba[00:01:28]
When they proposed to her she simply left them flat[00:01:33]
She said that love should be impulsive but not convulsive[00:01:37]
And syncopation had a discouraging effect on procreation[00:01:42]
And that she'd rather read a book and that was that[00:01:47]
She declined to begin the beguine though they besought her to[00:01:56]
And in language profane and obscene she cursed the man who taught her to[00:02:01]
She cursed Cole porter too[00:02:07]
From this it's fairly clear that Nina in her demeanour[00:02:13]
Was so offensive that when the hatred of her friends grew too intensive[00:02:18]
She thought she'd better beat it while she had the chance[00:02:22]
After some trial and tribulation she reached the station[00:02:27]
And met a sailor who had acquired a wooden leg in Venezuela[00:02:32]
And so he married him because he couldn't dance[00:02:37]
There surely never could've been a[00:02:41]
More irritating girl than Nina[00:02:44]
They never speak in argentina[00:02:48]
Of this degenerate bambina[00:02:51]
Who had the luck to find romance[00:02:54]
But resolutely wouldn't da[00:02:59]
A a a a[00:03:01]
A a a a[00:03:03]
A a a a[00:03:05]
A a a ance[00:03:06]
She wouldn't dance[00:03:08]
Hola[00:03:09]
