David Watts (B.B.C. session) Songtext
von The Kinks

(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

(Oh!) 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) 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

(Oh!) 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
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa)
Wish I could be like (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa)
Wish, wish, wish, wish (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa)

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

Be like (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa)
Wish I could be like (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa)
