In My Own Little Corner (from Cinderella)

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 thief 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 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.
