Lynn Whitfield sang this song in 'The Josephine Baker Story'.
I would guess the real Josephine sang it too.

"She refused to begin the beguine
When they besought her to...
And in language profane and obscene
She cursed the man who taught her to...
She cursed Cole Porter, too!"
--- "Senorita Nina from Argentina" by Noel Coward

I LOVE Senorita Nina!
She refused to begin the Beguine
When they requested it,
And she made an embarrassing scene
If anyone suggested it.
For she detested it.
