This great novelty number about a kid's messy school desk will have your audience breaking up with laughter.

"It was Friday afternoon when I heard the strangest sound;
I opened up my desk just to have a look around.
I gazed into a mess! I couldn't believe my eyes!
Here is what I found inside---much to my surprise!

One old jar of dried up paste, three markers that all leaked.
A frayed and broken gym shoe lace, my sandwich from last week!
A reading book that's overdue, a picture of my cat;
One partly chewed up piece of gum, my mom would just love that!

Whatever you need, it's in my desk!
Whatever you can think of, I have it in this mess!
Whatever you want, it's in my desk!
Whatever you can think of, I have it in this mess!

I found a half a candy bar, the lost key to our house;
And dining on my mashed up lunch, I found a little mouse!
Yucky paste, gym shoe lace, candy crunch, mashed up lunch.
Key to house, little mouse, it's in my desk!

Whatever you need, it's in my desk!
Whatever you can think of, I have it in this mess!
Whatever you want, it's in my desk!
Whatever you can think of, I have it in this mess!
Oh, what a mess! I guess I'd better clean out my desk! NAH!!"
