I Wanna Be Like You
Oh, I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top, had to stop
And that's what's been botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around
Oh, ooh-be-doo (shoo-be-doo)
I wanna be like you (shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be)
I wanna walk like you (ooh)
Talk like you (ooh) too (shoo-be-doo)
You'll see it's true (shoo-be-doo)
That someone like me (shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be)
Can learn to be
Someone like you (shoo-be-doo)
Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I'll make a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dreams come true
Now, give me the secret mancub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red fire
So I can be like you
Oh, ooh-be-doo (shoo-be-doo)
I wanna be like you (shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be)
I wanna walk like you (ooh)
Talk like you (ooh) too (shoo-be-doo)
You'll see it's true (shoo-be-doo)
That someone like me (shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be)
Can learn to be
Someone like you (shoo-be-doo)
Hey, where's that sax? Let's get a little jazzy
Now it's time to get funky
Now you might think it's ridiculous
That me, a gigantopithecus
Would ever dream I'd like to team
With the likes of you, mancub
But together we'd have powers
All the jungle's treasures ours
I got desire, you got the fire
But the dream I dream takes two
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you
Ooh-be-doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you
You know what? I don't think you're even listening
Oh, ooh-be-doo (shoo-be-doo)
I wanna be like you (shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be)
I wanna walk like you (ooh)
Talk like you (ooh) too (shoo-be-doo)
You'll see it's true (shoo-be-doo)
That someone like me (shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be)
Can learn to be
Someone like you (shoo-be-doo)
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top, had to stop
And that's what's been botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men

Oh, ooh-be-doo (shoo-be-doo)
I wanna be like you (shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be)
I wanna walk like you (ooh)
Talk like you (ooh) too (shoo-be-doo)
You'll see it's true (shoo-be-doo)

That someone like me (shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be)
Can learn to be
Someone like you (shoo-be-doo)
