Oo-wah, oo-wah Ah-ah-ah-ah Oo-wah, oo-wah, ah My old desk Does an arabesque In the mornin' when I first arrive It's a pleasure to see It's waitin' there for me To keep my hopes alive Such a comfort to know It's got no place to go It's always there It's the one thing I've got A huge success 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 Oo-wah, oo-wah Ah-ah-ah-ah Oo-wah, oo-wah, ah My old desk Isn't picturesque But it's happy as a desk could be We never say a word But it's perfectly alright with me For when my hearts on the floor I just open the drawer Of my favorite guest And what do I see? But a picture of me Workin' at my good old desk Oo-wah, oo-wah Ah-ah-ah-ah Oo-wah, oo-wah, ah
