[Chorus]
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
[Verse 1]
He was born on an English farm
Never bothered anybody, never causin' any harm
With his scoopy haircut and his sloppy style
Everybody hoped that he would stick around a while
But the big city lights were callin' his name
And good ol' Hugh, he had a hangerin' for fame
So he packed up his bags, said goodbye to his mom
[Chorus]
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
[Verse 2]
Got his first break on a photo shoot
He wasn't very good, all the ladies thought he cute
And before you know it, he was on his way
To become a superstar of romantic comedy
[Chorus]
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
[Verse 3]
Four weddings, there were, and a funeral too
But the film's success wasn't good enough for Hugh
So he set his lights on a lovely lady
Who would make his days weak and provide him with a baby
But last for Hugh, Allie Herpay interfered
And was the bane of his existence for many a year
[Chorus]
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
[Verse 4]
But time moves on, it doesn't stand still
And good ol' Hugh, he has a role to fill
Mickey Blue Eyes and Notting Hill
We doubt he'll ever stop and we hope he never will
[Chorus]
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
I said, ooh-wee, I wish that I could live like H.G
