Richard Rodgers - In My Own Little Corner (feat. Oscar Hammerstein II) - Текст песни

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 Norweigen princess or a milkmaid


I'm the greatest prima donna in the land


I'm a 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.
