I Wanna Be Like You
Richard M. Sherman, Robert B. Sherman
Now I'm the king of the swingers, boy Jungle V.I.P.
I've reached the top, and had to stop,
And that's what's bothering me
I wanna be a man, a man cub stroll right into town
and be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeying around
Chorus:
So woowooooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do
You see it's true, an ape like me
can learn to be human too, yeah
Now, don't you mess with me man-cub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
So I can be just like you
An' don't you mess with me man-cub
Tell me what to do give me the power of man's red flower
so I can be just like you
