Nina - Noel Coward[00:00:00]

Written By：Noël Coward[00:00:01]

Seсorita Nina from Argentina knew all the answers[00:00:43]

Though her relatives and friends were perfect dancers[00:00:47]

She swore she'd never dance a step until she died[00:00:49]

She said[00:00:53]

I've seen too many movies and all they prove is too idiotic[00:00:53]

They all insist that South America's exotic[00:00:56]

Where's it couldn't be more boring if it tried[00:01:00]

She added firmly that she hated[00:01:04]

The sound of soft guitars beside a still lagoon[00:01:05]

She also positively stated[00:01:10]

That she could not abide a Southern moon[00:01:11]

She said I hate to be pedantic but[00:01:15]

I'm driven nearly frantic[00:01:17]

When I see that unromantic sycophantic lot of[00:01:18]

Forever wriggling their guts[00:01:22]

It drives me absolutely nuts[00:01:25]

She refused to[00:01:28]

Begin[00:01:29]

The Beguine when they requested it[00:01:30]

And she made an embarrassing scene[00:01:34]

If anyone suggested it[00:01:37]

For she detested it[00:01:40]

Though no one ever could be keener than little Nina[00:01:45]

On quite a number of very eligible men who did the rhumba[00:01:49]

When they proposed to her she simply left them flat[00:01:53]

She said that love should be impulsive[00:01:56]

But not convulsive[00:02:00]

And syncopation had a discouraging effect on procreation[00:02:01]

And that she'd rather read a book and that was that[00:02:05]

Seсorita Nina from Argentina despised the Tango[00:02:17]

Although she never was a girl to let a man go[00:02:21]

She wouldn't sacrifice her principles for[00:02:24]

She looked with scorn on the gyrations[00:02:28]

Of her relations who danced the conga[00:02:29]

And swore that if she had to stand it any longer[00:02:32]

She'd lose all dignity and wring their silly necks[00:02:35]

She said that frankly she was blinded[00:02:38]

To all the over advertised romantic charms[00:02:40]

And then she got more bloody minded[00:02:44]

And told them where to put their tropic palms[00:02:46]

And she could not refrain from saying[00:02:49]

That their idiotic swaying[00:02:51]

And those damned guitarras playing[00:02:52]

Were an insult to her race[00:02:54]

And that she really couldn't face[00:02:56]

Such international disgrace[00:02:59]

She declined to[00:03:02]

Begin[00:03:04]

The Beguine when they besought her to[00:03:04]

And with language profane and obscene[00:03:09]

She cursed the man who taught her to[00:03:11]

She cursed Cole Porter too[00:03:14]

From this it's fairly clear that Nina[00:03:19]

In her demeanour[00:03:21]

Was so offensive that[00:03:22]

When the hatred of her friends grew too intensive[00:03:24]

She thought she'd better beat it[00:03:27]

While she had the chance[00:03:28]

After some trial and tribulation[00:03:30]

She reached the station[00:03:34]

And met a sailor[00:03:35]

Who had acquired a wooden leg in Venezuela[00:03:36]

And so he married him because he couldn't dance[00:03:39]

There surely never could've been a[00:03:43]

More irritating girl than Nina[00:03:45]

They never speak in Argentina[00:03:48]

Of this degenerate bambina[00:03:51]

Who had the luck to find romance[00:03:54]

But resolutely wouldn't dance[00:03:58]
