I Wanna Be Like You The Monkey Song lyrics

Performed by Louis Prima (King Louie)

(Sung)
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
An ape like me
Can learn to be humen too

(Spoken)
Gee, cousin Louie
You`re doin` real good

Now here`s your part of the deal, cuz
Lay the secret on me of man`s red fire

But I don`t kknow how to make fire

(Sung)
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 what to do
Give me the power of man`s red flower
So I can be like you

You!
I wanna be like you
I wanna talk like you
Walk like you, too
You`ll see it`s true
Someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
Can learn to be
Like someone like me!
