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
I wish I could be like David Watts
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
Wish I could be like David Watts
Wish I could be like David Watts
Wish I could be like David Watts
Wish I could be
He is the head boy at the school
He is the captain of the team
His is so gay and fancy free
And I wish all his money belonged to me
I wish I could be like David Watts
And all the girls in the neighborhood
They try to go out with David Watts
They try their best but can't succeed
For he is of pure and noble breed
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
