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

Now, I'm the king of swingers, oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what's botherin' me
I wanna be a man, man cub, and stroll right into town
And be just like those other men, I'm tired of monkeyin' around

Oh, ooh-be-doo, I wanna be like you, oh-oh
I wanna walk like you, talk like you too, oh
You'll see it's true, oh-oh, an ape like me, eh-eh
Can learn to be human too, oh-oh

Now don't try to kid me, man cub, I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire to make my dreams come true
So give me the secret, man cub, hey, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower, so I can be like you

Oh, ooh-be-doo, I wanna be like you, oh-oh
I wanna walk like you, talk like you too, oh
You'll see it's true, oh-oh, an ape like me, eh-eh
Can learn to be human too, oh-oh, yeah

Now here's your part of the deal, cuz
Lay the secret on me of man's red fire

You, oh-oh, I wanna be like you, oh-oh
I wanna walk like you, talk like you too, oh
And you see it's true, oh-oh, an ape like me, eh-eh
Can learn to be human too, oh-oh (oh-oh-oh)

Ooh-be-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk, I wanna walk, I wanna walk and talk like you
You'll see it's true, surely on me, like me
Can learn to be human too, yeah
