Jewel - In My Room lyrics

I've often heard Though it sounds absurd There's a certain kind of person Who just to get a thrill 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 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 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 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 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 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 In my room - my lamp becomes an Eiffel 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 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
