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.. I

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.
