I Wanna Be Like You II
Now, I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle v.i.p.
King Louie's the name.
My claim to fame:
Nobody can swing like me.
But follow my directions
And in a little while,
If you hunch down low
And let yourself go
You'll learn my jungle style.
Hang your arms loose, just like an ape.
Now swing your caboose.
You're getting in shape!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wanna be like
You-ooh-ooh.
I wanna walk you, talk like you,
Too-ooh-ooh.
You'll see it's true-ooh-ooh
Someone like mee-ee-ee
Can learn to be like someone like
You-ooh-ooh!
My name is Kaa, the python.
I slink and slip and slide.
I stretch out on my stomach
And slither on my side.
I'm supple, sleek and slender,
Sensational to see.
So just get wise
And slenderize
And soon you'll slink like me.
Now, slither down on your stomach
And stretch. That's simply super!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wanna be like
You-ooh-ooh.
I wanna glide like you, slide like you,
Too-ooh-ooh.
You'll see it's true-ooh-ooh
Someone like mee-ee-ee
Can learn to be like someone like
You-ooh-ooh!
They call me Colonel Hathi
Because they understand
The fittest pack of pachyderms
Is under my command.
We drill from dawn 'til sunset.
We never want to quit.
And that is why my troops and I
Keep vigorous and fit.
Now, march two, three, four! Keep
It up, two, three, four!
Very good, two, three, four!
For a small elephant, of course.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wanna be like
You-ooh-ooh.
I wanna walk you, talk like you,
Too-ooh-ooh.
You'll see it's true-ooh-ooh
Some like mee-ee-ee
Can learn to be like someone like
You-ooh-ooh!
I'm rugged, rough and ready.
Yeah, you guessed it: I'm Baloo.
Beyond compare, the greatest bear
The jungle ever knew.
I'm laid-back, loose and limber,
But I'm ready, come what may.
'Cause to fight the flab
I punch and jab
And shadowbox all day.
Now, put 'em up. O.K., Give me a left.
Now, give me a right. Yeah.
Now, give me an uppercut.
Wow! That was a lollapalooza!
You're one swell bear!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wanna be like
You-ooh-ooh.
I wanna walk you, talk like you,
Too-ooh-ooh.
You'll see it's true-ooh-ooh
Some like mee-ee-ee
Can learn to be like someone like
You!
Can learn to be like someone like
You!
King Louie, Kaa and Hathi and Baloo!
