Nina - Bobby Short

When I arrive in any town

I look the ladies up and down

And when I’ve picked my favorite flame

This is my patter, no matter her name

Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina

Fascinating Nina

What a lovely child

Nina, you enchant me

Nina, you’re so sweet

I mean yuh fairly drive me wild

Nina, till the moment you hit my heart

Nina, I was doin' just fine

But since I’ve seen yuh

Nina, Nina, Nina

I’ll be having neurasthenia

Till I make yuh mine!

Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina

You’re the bright gardenia

Of the Spanish Main

Nina, Nina, Nina, Nina

Don’t be so enticing

Or I’ll go insane

Nina, till alas I gazed in your eyes

Nina, I was mentally fine

But since I’ve seen yah

Nina, Nina, Nina

I’ll be havin' schizophrenia

Till I make yah

Till I make yah

Till I make yah mine
