 Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah, Oowah Oowah ah
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.
 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
