Julie Andrews — In My Own Little Corner

[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 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 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
