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 wing of my fancy, I can fly anywhere
And the world will open it`s arms to me
I`m a young Egyptian princess or a milkmaid
I`m the greatest primadonna in Milan
I`m an heiress who has always had her silk made
By her own flock of silk worms 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 theif in 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 met a lioness in her lair
Then I`m Glad to be back in my own little corner
All alone, in my own little chair
