I wanna be like you

Now I’m the king of the swingers

Oh, the jungle VIP

I’ve reached the top and had to stop

And that’s what’s botherin’ me (that’s what’s botherin’ me)

I wanna be a man, mancub yeah

And stroll right into town

I wanna be just like the other men

I’m tired of monkeyin’ around!

Oh, oobee doo

I wanna be like you-ooh-ooh

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

Now don’t try to kid me, mancub

I made a deal with you

What I desire is man’s red fire

To make my dream come true

Give me the secret, mancub

Clue me in on what to do

Give me the power of man’s red flower

So I can be like you

Oh, oobee doo

I wanna be like you-ooh-ooh

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

(Yeah-eeh-yeah-eeh-oh)

(Wooh)

[Guitar Solo]

(Oh, oobee doo

I wanna be like you-ooh-ooh

I wanna walk like you

Talk like you, too)

Oh, oobee doo

I wanna be like you-ooh-ooh

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

(Yeah-eeh-yeah-eeh-oooooh-yeah-yeah)
