I Wanna Be Like You - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

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 botherin' me

I wanna be a man, mancub

And stroll right into town

And 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 someone like me

Can learn to be like someone like you

Now don't try to kid me, mancub

I'll make a deal with you

What I desire is man's red fire

To make my dream come true

Now, give me the secret, mancub

Come on, clue me 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

I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too

You'll see it's true someone like me

Can learn to be like someone like you

Now you might think it's ridiculous

That me, a gigantipithicus

Would ever dream I'd like to team

With the likes of you, mancub

But together, we'd have powers

All the jungle's treasures, ours

I got desire, you got the fire

But the dream I dream takes two

So, ooh, I wanna be like you

I wanna use that flame just the same you can do

Oh, how magnificus it would be

A gigantipithicus like me

Could learn to do like you humans do

Can learn to be like someone like you

Can learn to be like someone like me
