Nina-Noel Coward and Orchestra

[ti:Nina] [ar:Noel Coward----(replace by 84005)] [al:Greatest Hits] [offset:0] [00:00.67]Nina - Noel Coward and Orchestra [00:12.71]Señorita Nina, from Argentina, [00:15.82]Knew all the answers [00:17.32]Although her relatives [00:18.57]And friends were perfect dancers [00:20.51]She swore she'd never dance a step until she died [00:23.22] [00:24.57]She said, "I've seen too many movies, [00:26.83]And all they prove is too idiotic. [00:28.80] [00:29.81]They all insist that South America's exotic [00:32.27] [00:33.21]Whereas it couldn't be more boring if it tried." [00:36.03] [00:37.30]She added firmly that she hated [00:39.18] [00:39.85]The sound of soft guitars beside a still lagoon [00:42.73] [00:43.86]She also positively stated [00:45.60] [00:46.40]That she could not abide a Southern moon [00:49.37] [00:50.46]She said "I hate to be pedantic [00:51.98]But I'm driven nearly frantic [00:53.39]When I see that unromantic, [00:55.35]Sycophantic lot of sluts [00:56.77] [00:58.40]Forever wriggling their guts. [01:00.20] [01:01.46]It drives me absolutely nuts." [01:03.93] [01:05.27]She refused to Begin The Beguine [01:08.89]When they requested it [01:10.17] [01:12.53]And she made an embarrassing scene [01:15.03]If anyone suggested it [01:17.12] [01:18.28]For she detested it. [01:20.34] [01:24.65]Though no one ever [01:25.60]Could be keener than little Nina [01:28.15] [01:28.75]On quite a number of very eligible [01:31.53]Men who did the rhumba [01:33.02] [01:33.57]When they proposed to her [01:34.64]She simply left them flat. [01:35.90] [01:37.56]She said that love should be impulsive, [01:40.43] [01:41.23]But not convulsive [01:41.95] [01:42.80]And syncopation [01:44.48]Had a discouraging effect on procreation [01:46.97] [01:47.56]And that she'd rather read a book [01:49.13]And that was that. [01:49.88] [01:56.33]She declined to Begin The Beguine [01:58.47]When they besought her to [02:00.51] [02:02.11]And with language profane and obscene [02:04.53]She cursed the man who taught her to [02:07.04] [02:08.20]She cursed Cole Porter too. [02:10.49] [02:14.18]From this its fairly clear that Nina, [02:16.93]In her demeanour [02:18.06] [02:18.63]Was so offensive that when [02:20.71]The hatred of her friends grew too intensive [02:23.34]She thought she'd better beat it while [02:24.93]She had the chance [02:25.95] [02:27.95]After some trial and tribulation, [02:30.65] [02:31.53]She reached the station [02:33.15]And met a sailor, [02:34.33] [02:34.83]Who had acquired a wooden leg in Venezuela [02:37.93]And so she married him, [02:39.27]Because he couldn't dance. [02:41.61] [02:42.11]There surely never could've been a [02:43.76] [02:44.89]More irritating girl than Nina [02:47.75] [02:48.79]They never speak in Argentina [02:50.90] [02:52.01]Of this degenerate bambina [02:54.60] [02:55.50]Who had the luck to find romance [02:58.89] [03:00.17]But resolutely wouldn't dance. [03:04.27] [03:08.93]She wouldn't dance [03:09.81]
