verses
D
(1)I am a dull and simple lad, can not tell water from champagne
(2)He is the head boy at the school, he is the captain of the team
D G A G A
And I have never met the queen, and I wish I could have all he has got
He is so gay and fancy free, and I wish all his money belonged to me
A
I wish I could be like David Watts
D
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
F# Bm
And when I lie on my pillow at night, I dream I could fight like David Watts
And all the girls in the neighborhood try to go out with David Watts
E A
Lead the school team to victory, and take my exams and pass the lot
They try their best but can't succeed for he is of pure and noble breed
D
(Wish I could be) wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be) wish I could be like David Watts
E
(Wish I could be) conduct my life like David Watts
A
(Wish I could be) I wish I could be like David Watts
(D)
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

| I always liked the self-effacing lyrics about how he's such a dirty, unwashed lunk next to this wonderful David Watts. Blur, for their song "Tracy Jacks", said the name for the title character of that song was influenced by the title character of this song. | |

| David Watts was an actual person and friend of the band. He also supposedly had a big crush on Dave ;-). He's been immortalized in song by Ray. | |

| I always took this song to be a dig on the popular kids in school. There's always one David Watts in every school, that all the other kids wish they could be like. | |
