Ive often heard Though it sounds absurd Theres 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 Theres nothing I cant 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 Ill play you a tune Theres nothing I cant do In my room Theres nothing I cant do In my room
