Nina / Begin the Beguine (Live) - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]

Seсorita Nina from Argentina knew all the answers[00:00:26]

Though her relatives and friends were perfect dancers[00:00:29]

She swore she'd never dance a step until she died[00:00:32]

She said I've seen too many movies and all they prove is too idiotic[00:00:35]

They all insist that South America's exotic[00:00:40]

Whereas it couldn't be more boring if it tried[00:00:43]

She added firmly that she hated[00:00:46]

The sound of soft guitars beside a still lagoon[00:00:48]

She also positively stated[00:00:52]

That she could not abide a Southern moon[00:00:54]

She refused to Begin The Beguine when they requested it[00:00:57]

And she made an embarrassing scene if anyone suggested it[00:01:03]

For she detested it[00:01:08]

Though no-one ever could be keener than little Nina[00:01:13]

On quite a number of very eligible men who did the rhumba[00:01:16]

When they proposed to her she simply left them flat[00:01:20]

She said that love should be impulsive but not convulsive[00:01:24]

And syncopation had a discouraging effect on procreation[00:01:29]

And that she'd rather read a book and that was that[00:01:33]

Seсorita Nina from Argentina despised the Tango[00:01:45]

Although she never was a girl to let a man go[00:01:49]

She wouldn't sacrifice her principles for sex[00:01:52]

She looked with scorn on the gyrations[00:01:55]

Of her relations who danced the conga[00:01:58]

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

She'd lose all dignity and wring their silly necks[00:02:03]

She said that frankly she was blinded[00:02:06]

To all the over advertised romantic charms[00:02:09]

And then she got more bloody minded[00:02:14]

And told them where to put their tropic palms[00:02:16]

She said I hate to be pedantic but I'm driven nearly frantic[00:02:19]

When I see that unromantic sycophantic lot of sluts[00:02:22]

Forever wriggling their guts[00:02:26]

It drives me absolutely nuts[00:02:29]

She declined to Begin The Beguine when they besought her to[00:02:32]

And with language profane and obscene she cursed the man who taught her to[00:02:37]

She cursed Cole Porter too[00:02:44]

From this it's fairly clear that Nina in her demeanour[00:02:49]

Was so offensive that when the hatred of her friends grew too intensive[00:02:54]

She thought she'd better beat it while she had the chance[00:02:58]

After some trial and tribulation she reached the station[00:03:01]

And met a sailor who had acquired a wooden leg in Venezuela[00:03:07]

And so he married him because he couldn't dance[00:03:11]

There surely never could've been a[00:03:15]

More irritating girl than Nina[00:03:18]

They never speak in Argentina[00:03:20]

Of this degenerate bambina[00:03:23]

Who had the luck to find romance[00:03:26]

But resolutely wouldn't dance[00:03:32]

She would dance for it[00:03:40]
