About Nina West:
Nina West is a veritable “every-queen” - an actor, singer/songwriter, producer, author, host, and activist who won the title of Miss Congeniality on the 11th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race & RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars 9. She returned to the show in 2021 as a guest and was anointed “America’s Sweetheart” by RuPaul. Nina made history at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards in September 2019 as the first person to walk the carpet in full drag, in support of her season; that year, RuPaul’s Drag Race won five Primetime Emmy Awards, including Best Reality Competition Show.

Lyrics:
I am the very keeper of the Drag Race chronographical
I’ve information draglical on royalty fantastical
We started off with Bebe Tammie Flowers Jade bombastical
Shannel Ongina Becca Kashia Porkchop so impactical
Then we went on to Raven Tyra Jessica and Jujubee
The queen of Scotland NPB and Tatianna’s poetry
Pandora Shangela Mystique a moment for Sahara D...
Don’t get me started on the endless magic of the great Sonique
Then season 3 was Raja Yara Carmen and the firebird
We went to Venus India Manila and the Delta Work
With Shangela again Mariah Stacy Layne Alexis Mimi First
Latrice The Princess Jiggly Queer Lashauwn Milan two Michaelses
O’Hara Willam Sharon Ritz another of the Summerses
In short in matters draglical and royalty fantastical
I am the very keeper of the Drag Race chronographical
In short in matters draglical and royalty fantastical
She is the very keeper of the drag race chronographical
Next up to bat was Monica Miss Honey and Rolaskatox
Another Jade Lineysha Coco and Alyssa fired shots
Pinay was fey while Jinkx and Winters heralded the equinox
Serena did the Cha Cha Penny showed us all how money talks
Season 6 was Rio Act Delano DeLa and Viva-ci-ous
Laganja was attacked and Kelly Mantle was the baconest
Magnolias in April by the Lake so beautica-ci-ous
Bonet Fox Gia got her Gunn and Milk was so lacta-ci-ous
DuJour Miss Fame and then it came to Violet Max and Kennedy
Let’s up the ante Jaidynn Kandy Katya Pearl and Sasha B
Then Trixie went and spilled the Jasmine Ginger tea with Mrs. Kasha D
Bob Kim Naomi Laila Turner Barry Betty Thorgy too
D Exclamation Naysha Cucu Chi Chi we are missing you
In short in matters draglical and royalty fantastical
I am the very keeper of the Drag Race chronographical
In short in matters draglical and royalty fantastical
She is the very keeper of the drag race chronographical
Now 9 was mighty fine with Farrah Peppermint and Charlie Hides
Kimora Aja Jaymes Alexis M Bo’Nina bona-fide
Velour wrapped Valentina masked and Cucu reincarnitized
The Tuck she slayed Coulée shanté’d Eureka preproportionized
Then on to Kameron Michaels Asia Cracker and Aquaria
Eureka for the sequel Yuhua Vixen Blair St. Clairia
Monét Monique Miss Vanjie making Mayhem in your area
Karbdashian and Dusty what a season legendaria
A’keria Miss Vanjie 2 Kahanna Silky Ph.D.
Mercedes Soju Purple Raja Yvie Honey Scarlet E
Versace Shuga Brooke Plastique and then there’s Nina West the very
queen
Crystal Jaida Jackie Gigi Jan and Dahlia get Rock-ified
N Closet Nicky Widow Aiden Brita and [redacted]

Finally! A drag version of We Didn't Start The Fire. Now we have our own history lesson song. Well done, Nina!!

[@madnesscm]

Omg even I'm out of breath!! The maniacal 90s vibe that we all love and miss. Just fabulous!!! I was at Portland Pride on Sunday, and I had no idea you were going to be in the parade!!! My fiance and I were the ones waving and shouting near the end, and you pointed us out and said, "I see you!!" 🥹 That totally made our day 🥰 I've been riding on that high all week!! I couldn't communicate it from so far away, but I'm a West, too! We're family, gurl! 😘 We love you, Nina! Amazing job this season 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Because they hate people who have talent.

[@mikemcdonald8002]

That was a MODERN MAJOR SPECTACLE ! Brava Diva Nina!!

I’m breathless just from listening! What a tour de force! Brava!

[@pastawater2969]

1:18 "Magnolias in April by the Lake so beauticacious" is a really cool way of linking their names together lyrically

[@Scott3843]

Fantastic! So enjoyable. I only wish she had the lyrics scrawled at the bottom of the screen. The KZbin generated ones just don't cut it on this vid!

[@philoween_trends]

Agreed

[@erikag.7396]

I'm so impressed you made all these names rhyme. Love you Nina

[@NinaWestOfficial]

Thank you so much!

[@user3640]

Signed into youtube just so I could like this. Top tier talent. Your favs could never.

[@CucumberBat227]

So glad I exist at the same time as you. All you do exhudes your joy and love for drag and anybody who watches you just feels that, amplified to the max. Keep doing all that you do, keep being a wonderful Queen.

[@eckoschreiber]

The mimic's are iconic;o) Tom Orr and Studio 60 on Sunset strip would be proud, chapeau!

This is the third time I have put this comment up. If it is being blocked please explain. “ Even if you are not a fan of Nina’s drag one must bow to her talent. This was amazing musical theatre. This music by Gilbert and Sullivan is difficult to sing. Kudos to Nina not just a face, body and or couture but talent. No shade intended. 😂😂😂😂

I was waiting to see if she was going to add the queen from 12 that can’t be named and the fact that they didn’t is a smart move
