(Cendrillon)
I’m as mild and as meek as a mouse.
When I hear a command I obey.
But I know one 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 Egyptian 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 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.

In my own little corner (reprise).

Interprétée par Brandy.

(Cendrillon)
Go to the ball ? Me ?
Why would I want to go to the ball ?
I’d much rather sit here by the fire.

In my own little corner.
In my own little hair.
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 am in the royal palace of all places.
I am chatting with the prince and king and queen.
And the color on my two stepsisters faces.
Is a queer, kind of sour apple green.
I am coy and flirtatous.
When alone with the prince.

Oh your highness.

I’m the belle of the ball.
In my own little corner.
All alone…

I wish… I wish I could go to the ball.
