Dave Taylor - White Boots Lyrics

Well, I practiced hard for hours in the mirror
Squawking and squealing my heart away
I filled in the form for the audition
And just couldn't wait until the big day

I'll be headed to the land of celebrity
Dazzled with that vision of stars in my eyes
Just think of all that sand and sea and shopping
Waiting for me when I've won that prize

If only I hadn't sung "I Will Survive
If only I'd stayed in tune
If only I'd worn my white boots
Then I'm sure I would of got through
If only I'd worn my white boots
I'm sure I would of got through

I'd even got my sob story all lined up
Of a childhood of trauma and woe
Me dad would have crawled out of the woodwork
When I got to that final show

Me gran would have been blubbering for England
Me mum with her fists in the air
And all me mates would text in their votes
And my first single would be played everywhere

If only I hadn't sung "I Will Survive
If only I'd stayed in tune
If only I'd worn my white boots,
Then I'm sure I would of got through

If only one of those judges could of recognised real talent
If only they could just of said "yes
I reckon they were all taking backhanders
I can't understand why they weren't impressed

Oh well, it's back to the karaoke night at the pub
All me dreams have sort of melted away
I suppose I'll just have to regroup
And who does Simon Cowell think he is anyway

If only I hadn't sung "I Will Survive
If only I'd stayed in tune
If only I'd worn my white boots
Then I'm sure I would of got through
Yes, If only I'd worn my white boots
Then I'm sure I would of got through
