I could stay awake just to watch the TV
Watch them smile while they are talking
While they’re far away I’m dreaming
I could spend my life watching the contenders
I could stay sat in this armchair forever
Every moment spent with it is a moment I treasure

Don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
’Cause I’d miss Olympics
And I don’t want to miss Beijing
Cause even when I dream of them
The sweetest dream would never do
I’d still miss all the sports
And I don’t want to miss Beijing

Sitting close to them, even though they’re in China
And I’m wondering what they are thinking
Wondering if I’ll one day meet them
Then we win a sport
And thank God we are better
Even though we’ll come last, or something quite like that
Forever and ever

Don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
’Cause I’d miss Olympics
And I don’t want to miss Beijing
Cause even when I dream of them
The sweetest dream would never do
I’d still miss all the sports
And I don’t want to miss Beijing

I don’t want to miss one mile
I don’t want to miss one race
I just want to be with them
Right here with them, cos they’re ace
More interesting than UFO’s
Hear their shout similar to mine
And just stay here in this armchair
For all the rest of time

Don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
’Cause I’d miss Olympics
And I don’t want to miss Beijing
Cause even when I dream of them
The sweetest dream would never do
I’d still miss all the sports
And I don’t want to miss Beijing

Don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
’Cause I’d miss Olympics
And I don’t want to miss Beijing
Cause even when I dream of them
The sweetest dream would never do
I’d still miss all the sports
And I don’t want to miss Beijing

I don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
I don’t want to miss Beijing
