My Good Old Desk- by Harry Nilsson
Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah
My old desk doesn’t 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 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.
Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ahRed and white, blue suede shoes, I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don't change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.
I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am; Been hidin' out in a rock and roll band.
Shake the hand that shook the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan.
Shine your shoes, light your fuse. Can you use them ol' U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth, run your life, steal your wife.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.
Back to back chicken shack. Son of a gun, better change your act.
We're all confused, what's to lose?
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.
