The Jam - David Watts Lyrics

The Jam Lyrics

"David Watts"

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, oi
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
(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) Wish I could be like David Watts

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 I could have all he has got, oi
Wish I could be like David Watts

And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with David Watts
They try their best, but can't succeed
'Cause he is of pure and noble breed
(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) Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts

Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
(David Watts)
(David Watts)
(David Watts)
(David Watts)
(David Watts)
(David Watts)
(David Watts)
