I'm as mild as a meek as a mouse When I hear a command I obey But I know of a spot in y 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 wig of my fancy I can fly anywhere And the world will open its arms to me I'm a young Norweigan Princess or a milkmaid I'm the greatest primmadona in Milan I'm an heiress who has always had her silk maid By her own flock of silkwors in Japan I'm a girl men go mad for love's a game I can play With a cool and confident king of air Just as long as I stay in my own little corner All alone in my own little chair I'm the belle of the ball in my own little corner All along in my own little chair 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 in an african safari It's a dangerous kind of sport and yet it's fun In the nght 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 meet a lioness in her lair Then I'm glad to be back in my own little corner
