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



Chorus:

In my own little corner

In my own little chair

I an be what ever 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 egyptian princess

Or a milk maid

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 in Calcutta

I'm a queen in Peru

I'm a mermaid dancing upon the sea



I'm a huntress on an african safari

Its a dangerous type of sport and yet its fun

In the night I sally forth to seek my quarry

But 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
