[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 wing of my fancy, I can fly anywhere And the world will open its arms to me I’m a young Egyptian princess or a milkmaid I’m the greatest primadonna in Milan I’m an heiress who has always had her silk made By her own flock of silk worms 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 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 met a lioness in her lair
Then I’m Glad to be back in my own little corner All alone, in my own little chair
