Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
I am a dull and simple lad
can not tell water from champagne
and i have never met the queen
and i wish i could have all that he has got
i wish i could be like david watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
And when i lie on my pillow at night
i dream i could fight like david watts
lead the school team to victory
and take my exams and pass the lot
(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
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
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
i wish i could be like david watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
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 of pure and noble breed
Wish i could be like
wish i could be like
wish i could be like
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
(repeat)
