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 it`s arms to me
I`m a young norwegian princess or a milkmaid
I`m the greatest prima donna in Milan
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 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.
(Cinderella I`m Thirsty! You`re Thirsty! Cinderella where`s our tea?!)
I can be whatever I want to be....
I`m a slave from Calcatta
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
