I Wan'na Be Like You lyrics

I Wan'na Be Like You lyrics

Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh
the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub, yeah
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!

Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too

Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
Give me the secret, mancub
Clue me what to do (what, what)
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you

Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Yeah, yeah, oh
Woo

Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too, yeah
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
