In My Room Jewel

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
