Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am a dull and simple lad
Cannot tell water from champagne
And I have never met the queen
And I wish I could have all he has got (Hey)
And I wish I could be like David Watts
[Verse 2]
And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like David Watts
And lead the school team to victory
And take my exams and pass the lot
[Verse 3]
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be) conduct my life like David Watts
(Wish I could be) I wish I could be like David Watts
[Verse 4]
He is the head boy at the school
He is the captain of the team
He is so gay and fancy free
And I wish all his money belonged to me (Hey)
And I wish I could be like David Watts
[Verse 5]
And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with David Watts
They try their best but can't succeed
For he is a pure and noble breed
[Verse 6]
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
[Verse 7]
(I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish)
(I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish)
[Verse 8]
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
