Rodgers And Hammerstein - My Own Little Corner lyrics

rate me

I'm as mild and as meek as a mouse<br />

When I hear a command I obey<br />

But I know of a spot in my house<br />

Where no one can stand in my way<br />

In my own little corner in my own little chair<br />

I can be whatever I want to be<br />

On the wing of my fancy I can fly anywhere<br />

And the world will open it's arms to me<br />

I'm a young norwegian princess or a milkmaid<br />

I'm the greatest prima donna in Milan<br />

I'm a heiress who has always had her silk made<br />

By her own flock of silkworms in Japan<br />

I'm a girl men go mad for love's a game I can play<br />

With a cool and confident kind of air<br />

Just as long as I stay in my own little corner<br />

All alone, in my own, little chair.<br />

<br />

(Cinderella I'm Thirsty! You're Thirsty! Cinderella where's our tea?!)<br />

<br />

I can be whatever I want to be....<br />

I'm a slave from Calcatta<br />

I'm a queen in Peru<br />

I'm a mermaid dancing upon the sea<br />

I'm a huntress on an African Safari<br />

It's a dangerous type of sport and yet it's fun<br />

In the night I sally forth to seek my quarry<br />

And I find I forgot to bring my gun!<br />

I am lost in the jungle all alone and unarmed<br />

When I meet a lioness in her lair!<br />

Then I'm glad to be back in my own little corner<br />

All alone, in my own, little chair
