Señorita Nina from Argentina,
Though all her relatives and friends
She swore she'd never dance
She said, I've seen too many movies
and all they prove is too idiotic
They all insisted that South
whereas it couldn't be more
She added firmly that she hated
the sound of soft guitars
And then she positively stated
that she could not abide a southern moon.
She said, I hate to be pedantic,
but I'm driven nearly frantic
when I see that unromantic,
sycophantic lot of sluts.
Forever wriggling their guts
Drives me absolutely nut s
Senorita Nina, from Argentina,
She wouldn't sacrifice her
She'd look with scorn on the gyrations
And swore that if she had
She'd lose all dignity and
She said that, frankly, she was blinded
to all their over -advertised
And then she got more bloody -minded
and told them where to put
She said with most refresh
that she thought Carmen Miranda
was subversive propaganda
and should rapidly be shot.
And that she didn't care a jot
if people quoted her or not.
She declined to begin the begin,
though they besought her to.
she cursed the man who taught her to.
She cursed Cole Porter to.
From this it's fairly clear
that Nina, in her demeanour,
That when the hatred of her friends
She thought she'd better beat it
After some trial and tribulation
She reached a station and met a sailor
because he couldn't dance
More irritating girl than Nina
They never speak in Argentina
Of this degenerate Pampina
Who had the luck to find romance
She wouldn't dance, oh no!
