In My Own Little Corner Lyrics by Laura Osnes

[ELLA]

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 wing 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 a 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 kind 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
