In My Own Little Corner Lyrics

In My Own Little Corner lyrics

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 wings of my fancy I can fly anywhere

and the
world will open its arms to me.



I'm a young Norwegian princess or
a milkmaid

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

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 from 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 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.
