I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)

Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle V.I. p

I reached the top and had to stop

And that's what's bothering me

I want to be a man, man-cub, and roll right into town

And be just like the other men

I'm tired of monkeying around

Oh

Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it's true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human too

Now don't try to kid me, man-cub, I made a deal with you

What I desire is man's great fire to make my dream's come true

Now give me the secret, man-cub, ooh, clue me what to do

Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you

Oh

Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it's true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human too

Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle V.I. p

I reached the top and had to stop

And that's what bothering me

Oh

Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it's true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human too

Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you, talk like humans do
