My good old desk.
My old desk never needs a rest and I’ve never once heard it cry.
I’ve never seen it tease it’s always there to please me
From nine to five.
Such a comfort to know it’s dependable and slow,
But it’s always there.
It’s the one friend I’ve got, a giant of all times,
My good old desk.
Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah
My old desk isn’t picturesque, but it’s happy as a desk can be.
We never say a word,
but it’s perfectly alright with me.
For when my hearts feeling low,
I just open the drawer of my favorite desk.
And what do I see?
But a picture of me working at my good old desk.
Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah
