  • Don't wanna dance like Fred Astaire
    Be like Superman through the air
    Don't wanna join Claire Francis in the riggings
    Pot the black with Hurricane Higgins
    Don't wanna ride like Willie Carson
    Be a Bishop or an important Parson
    Don't wanna hit Geoff Boycott for four
    Knock Mohammed Ali on the floor.

    I just wanna be a winner
    Just a little Oscar please
    Or a box of OBEs
    I wouldn't mind if it was Nobel
    Even Eric would serve me well

    See one, feel one, touch one
    See one, feel one, touch one
    See one, feel one, win an award

    Who'd want to rule like President Reagan
    Or kick a ball like Kevin Keegan
    Don't wanna sit Barbara Woodhouse does that
    I'd like to see her try it with the Blue Peter cat.
    Penny Keith don't need me at the Manor
    I've no desire to marry Diana
    Don't even want to paint like Van Gogh
    Go nationwide with Frank Bough

    I just wanna be a winner
    Just a little Oscar please
    Or a box of OBEs
    I wouldn't mind if it was Nobel
    Even Eric would serve me well

    See one, feel one, touch one
    See one, feel one, touch one
    See one, feel one, win an award Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
