《Nina (From Argentina)》歌词

[00:00:00] Nina (From Argentina) - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Barker

[00:00:13] Seс orita nina from argentina knew all the answers

[00:00:18] Though her relatives and friends were perfect dancers

[00:00:21] She swore she'd never dance a step until she died

[00:00:25] She said I've seen too many movies and all they prove is too idiotic

[00:00:30] They all insist that south america's exotic

[00:00:33] Whereas it couldn't be more boring if it tried

[00:00:38] She added firmly that she hated

[00:00:40] The sound of soft guitars beside a still lagoon

[00:00:45] She also positively stated

[00:00:47] That she could not abide a southern moon

[00:00:51] She said I hate to be pedantic but I'm driven nearly frantic

[00:00:55] When I see that unromantic sycophantic lot of

[00:00:59] Forever wriggling their guts

[00:01:03] It drives me absolutely nuts

[00:01:06] She refused to begin the beguine when they requested it

[00:01:14] And she made an embarrassing scene if anyone suggested it

[00:01:20] For she detested it

[00:01:26] Though no-one ever could be keener than little nina

[00:01:30] On quite a number of very eligible men who did the rhumba

[00:01:35] When they proposed to her she simply left them flat

[00:01:39] She said that love should be impulsive but not convulsive

[00:01:44] And syncopation had a discouraging effect on procreation

[00:01:50] And that she'd rather read a book and that was that

[00:01:58] She declined to begin the beguine when they besought her to

[00:02:04] And with language profane and obscene she cursed the man who taught her to

[00:02:10] She cursed cole porter too

[00:02:17] From this it's fairly clear that nina in her demeanour

[00:02:21] Was so offensive that when the hatred of her friends grew too intensive

[00:02:26] She thought she'd better beat it while she had the chance

[00:02:30] After some trial and tribulation she reached the station

[00:02:36] And met a sailor who had acquired a wooden leg in venezuela

[00:02:41] And so he married him because he couldn't dance

[00:02:45] There surely never could've been a

[00:02:48] More irritating girl than nina

[00:02:52] They never speak in argentina

[00:02:55] Of this degenerate bambina

[00:02:59] Who had the luck to find romance

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

[00:03:12] She wouldn't dance
