[Intro 1]
[Gm][Cm][D]
[G][Em][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Señorita Nina, from Argentina,
knew all the answers
[Em]Though her relatives and friends
were perfect [D]dancers
She swore she'd never dance
a step until she [G]died[Abdim]

[Verse 2]
[D]She said, "I've seen too man[G]y movies,
and all they prove is too idiotic.
They all in[Em]sist that South
America's exot[D]ic
Whereas it couldn't be
more boring if it [G]tried."[B]

[Verse 3]
[E]She added firmly that she hat[A]ed
[E]The sound of soft guitars
beside a still lagoon
[Em]She also positivel[G]y stat[C]ed
That she could not abide [E]a Southern [B]moon[E]

[Verse 4]
[B]She said "I hate to be [Em]pedantic
but I'm driven nearly frantic
[D]When I see that unroman[C]tic,
[G]sycophantic [B]lot of sluts
[Am]Fore[D]ver wrig[B]gling their guts.
[D]It drives me [Am]absolut[D]ely nuts[B]."
[G]She [D]re fused

[Verse 5]
[G]to Begin The Beguine
[Em]when they requested [G]it[Em]
An[D]d she [G]made an embarrassing [Em]scene
if anyone [F]suggested [Bdim]it
For she de[E]tested it.
[Dm][E][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]Though no- one ever cou[G]ld
be keener than little Nina
On quite a number of very [Em]eligible
men who did the rhum[D]ba
When they proposed to her she
simply left them [G]flat.[Abdim]
[D]She said that lov[Dm]e sho[G]uld be im pul[Bb]sive,[Gm]
[Bb]but not convulsive
And syncopa[G]tion [Em]had
a discouraging effect on procreation
[D]And that she'd rather read a book
and that was that.
Señorita Nina, from Argentina, des[Cm]pised the Tango

[Verse 7]
Although she never
[Cm]
was a girl to let a man go
She wouldn't sacrifice

[Verse 8]
her principles for sex.
[Cm]She looked with scorn on the gyrations
Of her relations who danced the conga
And [D]swore that if she had to stand
it any longer
She'd lose all dignity and
ring [G]their silly necks.

[Verse 9]
She said that frankly she was blinded [G]To all the
over advertised
[Em]ro mantic charms
And then she got more
bloody minded
[G]And told them where to
put their tropic palms.

[Verse 10]
And she could not refrain [G]from saying
that their [Em]idi otic swaying
And those damned guitar[G]ras playing
were an insult to her race
And that she really couldn't face
[Em]Such international disgrace

[Verse 11]
She declined to Begin The [F]Beguine
when they besought her to
And with language profane and obscene
[Bdim]she cursed the man who taught her to
She cursed [E]Cole Porter too.
[Dm][E][A]

[Verse 12]
[D]From this its fai[B]rly clear that Nin[G]a,
in her demeanour
Was so offensive that when the [Em]hatred
of her friends grew too in[D]tensive
She thought she'd better beat it while
she had [G]the chance[Abdim][D]

[Verse 13]
After some trial and [G]tribu[Gm]lation,
she [Bb]reached [Eb]the station
[Gm]And met a sailor,[G]
who had acquired a [Em]wooden leg [D]in Venezuela
And so he married him,
because he couldn't [G]dance.
There surely never [Cm]could've

[Verse 14]
been a
[F]More irritating girl [Bb]than Nina
They never [G]speak in Ar[Cm]gentina
Of this degenerate bam[D]bina
Who had the luck to find ro[D]mance
But resolutely [Cm]would[G][Eb]
[G]n't[Eb][G]
dance.
