I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song) [From "The Jungle Book" - Vocal Version]

I'm the king of the swingers
Oh the jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
An 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

Instrumental

Now don't try to kid me, mancub
Imade a deal with you
What i desire is man's red fire
To make my dreams come true
Give me the secret, mancub
Clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So i can be like you
Oh oobee doo

Instrumental

Oobee do
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
