Lyric I My Own Little Corner

I m as mild and as meek as a mouse
When I hear a command, I obey
But I know of a spot in my house
Where no one can stand in my way


In my own little corner, In my own little chair
I can be whatever I want to be
On the wing of my fancy, I can fly anywhere
And the world will open it s arms to me
I m a young Egyptian princess or a milkmaid
I m the greatest primadonna in Milan
I m an heiress who has always had her silk made
By her own flock of silk worms in Japan
I m a girl men go mad for
Love s a game I can play
With a cool and confident kind of air
Just as long as I stay in my own little corner
All alone, in my own little chair


I can be whatever I want to be
I m a theif in Calcutta, I m a queen in Peru
I m a mermaid dancing upon the sea
I m a huntress on an African safari
It s a dangerous type of sport, and yet it s fun
In the night I sally forth to seek my quarry
And I find I forgot to bring my gun
I am lost in the jungle, all alone and unarmed
When I met a lioness in her lair


Then I m Glad to be back in my own little corner
All alone, in my own little chair
