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
Take my exams and pass the lot

I wish I could be like David Watts
I wish I could be like David Watts
I wish I could like, like David Watts
I wish I could be like David Watts

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 I could have all he has got

I wish I could be like David Watts

And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with David Watts
The try their best but can't succeed
For he is of pure and noble breed

I wish I could be like David Watts
I wish I could be like David Watts
I wish I could be like David Watts
I wish I could be like David Watts

I wish I could be like
I wish I could be like
I wish I could be like
I wish I could be like

David Watts
David Watts
David Watts
