In My Own Little Corner Songtext

von Julie andrews

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.
