In My Room

Intro I’ve often heard Though it sounds absurd There’s a certain kind of person Who just to get a thrill... Verse 1 Walks through the desert just for something to do Flies through the skies with no parachute Some folks climb to the highest mountain Other folks bathe in Italian fountains Verse 2 Swim to the icy polar caps Wearing nothing but shorts and a plastic cap But I know a place where I can do all that Chorus 1 In my room I have a stack of books Where worlds unfold if I just look In my room I can go anywhere Just close my door and I am there I can fight a ninja on my bed All I have to do is just knock him on the head There’s nothing I can’t do In my room Verse 3 Some folks drag themselves to Timbuktu Just to see a monkey wearing funny shoes Some folks float all the way to China For wonton soup in a Hong Kong diner Verse 4 They take lessons to be fluent in mouse Or go to Spain to learn to sew a blouse Well I can do all that without leaving my house Chorus 2 In my room I have a stack of books Where worlds unfold if I just look In my room I can go anywhere Just close my door and I am there I can have Christmas in June Or build a rocket and walk on the moon I can do what I want to In my room Bridge In my room - my lamp becomes an Eiffle Tower In my room - my dog wears a cape and has special powers In my room - I spend hours and hours Deep in the jungle playing with all the boys and girls Chorus 3 In my room I have a stack of books Where worlds unfold if I just look In my room I can go anywhere Just close my door and I am there I can sneak around like a crafty raccoon Give me some pots and I’ll play you a tune There’s nothing I can’t do In my room There’s nothing I can’t do In my room
