Nina - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]
Señorita Nina, from Argentina,[00:00:12]
Knew all the answers[00:00:15]
Although her relatives[00:00:17]
And friends were perfect dancers[00:00:18]
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 too idiotic.[00:00:26]
They all insist that South America's exotic[00:00:29]
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[00:00:43]
That she could not abide a Southern moon[00:00:46]
She said "I hate to be pedantic[00:00:50]
But I'm driven nearly frantic[00:00:51]
When I see that unromantic,[00:00:53]
Sycophantic lot of sluts[00:00:55]
Forever wriggling their guts.[00:00:58]
It drives me absolutely nuts."[00:01:01]
She refused to Begin The Beguine[00:01:05]
When they requested it[00:01:08]
And she made an embarrassing scene[00:01:12]
If anyone suggested it[00:01:15]
For she detested it.[00:01:18]
Though no one ever[00:01:24]
Could be keener than little Nina[00:01:25]
On quite a number of very eligible[00:01:28]
Men who did the rhumba[00:01:31]
When they proposed to her[00:01:33]
She simply left them flat.[00:01:34]
She said that love should be impulsive,[00:01:37]
But not convulsive[00:01:41]
And syncopation[00:01:42]
Had a discouraging effect on procreation[00:01:44]
And that she'd rather read a book[00:01:47]
And that was that.[00:01:49]
She declined to Begin The Beguine[00:01:56]
When they besought her to[00:01:58]
And with language profane and obscene[00:02:02]
She cursed the man who taught her to[00:02:04]
She cursed Cole Porter too.[00:02:08]
From this its fairly clear that Nina,[00:02:14]
In her demeanour[00:02:16]
Was so offensive that when[00:02:18]
The hatred of her friends grew too intensive[00:02:20]
She thought she'd better beat it while[00:02:23]
She had the chance[00:02:24]
After some trial and tribulation,[00:02:27]
She reached the station[00:02:31]
And met a sailor,[00:02:33]
Who had acquired a wooden leg in Venezuela[00:02:34]
And so she married him,[00:02:37]
Because he couldn't dance.[00:02:39]
There surely never could've been a[00:02:42]
More irritating girl than Nina[00:02:44]
They never speak in Argentina[00:02:48]
Of this degenerate bambina[00:02:52]
Who had the luck to find romance[00:02:55]
But resolutely wouldn't dance.[00:03:00]
She wouldn't dance[00:03:08]
