In My Own Little Corner Songtext

In My Own Little Corner Songtext
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 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 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, 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
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 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 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, 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
