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 stop 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 anywere
and the world
will open its arms to me

I´am a young
Egyptian princess
or a milkmaid
I´m the greatest
prima donna in Milan

I´m and 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 thief of Calcutta
I´m a queen of 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 forget
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
