I Wanna Be Like You

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's bothering me

I wanna be a man, man-cub

Stroll right into town

And be just like the other men

'Cause I'm tired of monkeying around

Oh, ooh-bee-doo

I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo

I wanna walk like you

Talk like you, ooh

You'll see it's true

Yes, an ape like me

Can learn to be

Human too

I'll ape your mannerisms

We'll be a set of twins

And no-one will know where a man-cub ends

Or orangutan begins

And when I eat bananas

I won't peel them with my feet

I'll become a man-man, man-cub

And learn some etiquette

Oh, ooh-bee-doo

I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo

I wanna walk like you

Talk like you, ooh

You'll see it's true

Yes, an ape like me

Can learn to be

Human too

Oh, ooh-bee-doo

I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo

I wanna walk like you

Talk like you, ooh

You'll see it's true

Yes, an someone like me

Can learn to be

Human too
