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

Now I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle V.I.P

I reached the top and had to stop

And that's what bothering me

I want to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town

And be just like those other men

I'm tired of monkeying around

Oh, ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you

I wan'na walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it's true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human, too

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 dream's 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-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you

I wan'na walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it's true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human, too

Now here's your part of the deal 'cause, lay the secret on me, of man's, red, fire!

Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you

I wan'na walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it's true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human, too

Ooh-bi-doo, I wan'na be like you

I wan'na walk, I wan'na walk, I wan'na walk and talk like you

You see it's true, true! an ape like me

Can learn to be human, too (Yeah)
