Alouette is about plucking the feathers from a bird. See all In my own little corner In my own little chair I can be whatever I want to be On the wings 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 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 Loves 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
