My old desk
[B] Does an arabesque
[D] In the morning
When I [C#] first arrived
[A] It's a pleasure to see
[G#] It's waiting there for me
To [C#m] keep my hopes alive
[E] [A] Such a comfort to know
[C] It's got no place to go
[E] It's always [C#] there
[A] It's the one thing I've got
[C] A huge success
[E] My good old desk
My old desk
[D#] Never needs a rest
[D] I've never once heard [C#] it cry
[A] Never seen it tease
[G#] It's always there to please me
[C#m] From nine to five
[E] Such [A] a comfort to know
[C] It's dependable and slow
[E] But it's always [C#] there
It's [A] the one friend I've got
[C] A giant alarm clock
Sometimes [E] a good old desk
[Em] Oo-ah, oo [G]-ah
Ha ha ha
[C] Oo [B]-ah, oo [E]-ah Ha ha
My old desk [D#] Isn't victorious
[A] But it's happy as a desk [C#] bee
[A] We never say a word
[G#] But it's perfectly alright [C#m] with me
[E] So [A] when my heart's on the floor
I [C] just open the drawer
[E] Of my favorite guest
[C#] And [A] what do I see
[C] But a picture of me working
[E] At my good old desk
[Em]
Oo [D#]-ah, oo [G]-ah
Ha ha ha
[C] Oo [B]-ah, oo [E]-ah Ha ha
