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..
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.
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.. 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. Explain Request ×
