I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)
Now, I'm the king of the swing of soul
The jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top and had to stop
That's what's bothering me
I wanna be a man
Man-cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
Ooh-woo-we-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
Rrrrahr-rrrahr rrrahr rrrahr!
Hey, a-baby-dot-doo
Zaba-doo-doo-day-doo-bop
Doo-boo-doo-day, ze-bonz
Do-zootle-dot-dot-dot-dot-dot
Gingle do doot do do do doot
Zeep-i-doo-da hab a daah
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!
Now give me the secret, mancub
Come on
Clue me what to do
Give me the power
Of man's red flower
So I can be like you!
Rrrrahr-rrrahr rrrahr rrrahr!
Hey, a-baby-dot-doo
Zaba-doo-doo-day-doo-bop
Doo-boo-doo-day, ze-bonz
Do-zootle-dot-dot-dot-dot-dot
Gingle do doot do do do doot
Zeep-i-doo-da hab a daah
You
I wanna be like you
I want to walk like you
Talk like you
Too
You see it's true
Someone like me
Someone like ME
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
Like who?
Like you, my man
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
learn to be
Like someone like you
You, you, you, you
You
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
Yeah
The jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top and had to stop
That's what's bothering me
I wanna be a man

And be just like the other men

Ooh-woo-we-doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you

An ape like me
