In 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

Chorus:
In my own little corner
In my own little chair
I an be what ever I want to be
On the wings of my fancy I can fly anywhere
And the world will open its arms to me

I'm a young egyptian princess
Or a milk maid
I'm the greatest prima donna in Milan
I'm an heiress who has always had her silk made
By her own flock of silkworms 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 slave in Calcutta
I'm a queen in Peru
I'm a mermaid dancing upon the sea

I'm a huntress on an african safari
Its a dangerous type of sport and yet its fun
In the night I sally forth to seek my quarry
But I find I forgot to bring my gun
I am lost in the jungle
All alone and unarmed
When I meet a lioness in her lair

Then I'm glad to be back in my own little corner
All alone in my own little chair
