My old desk doesn't arabesque in the mornings 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 favourite guest
And what do i see? but a picture of me working at my good old desk
