Good Old Desk

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

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

My old desk isn't picturesque

But it's happy as a desk can be

We never say a word, but it's perfectly all right 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
