(Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa)

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 that he has got (Hey!)

And 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) 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 (Hey!)

And 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 neighbourhood

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

(Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa)
