Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?

Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favorite t.v. personality?

Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,

five nights a week?

And I try as hard as I can,

but I could never be David Letterman... 

I know he knows you look up to him,

but you don't visit his sleep,

I know I know this is what I missed, your eyes are just for me,

really can't see how we could be, I still put trust in fate,

it's something slow that I don't know so I say... 



Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?

Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favorite t.v. personality?

Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,

five nights a week?

And I try as hard as I can,

but I could never be David Letterman...
