Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My old desk does an arabesque
In the morning, when I first arrive
It's a pleasure to see
It's waiting 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 heart's on the floor, I just open the drawer
Of my favorite guest
And what do I see?
But a picture of me, working at my good old desk
