I Wan'na Be Like You

Now, I’m the king of the swingers, uh
The jungle VIP
I’ve reached the top and had to stop
And that’s what’s botherin' me
I wanna be a man, man-cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I’m tired of monkeyin' around
Ooh, 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
Human too
Now, don’t try to kid me, mancub
And don’t get in a stew
What I desire is man’s red fire
So I can be like you
Now gimme the secret, mancub
Just clue me what to do
Give me the power of man’s red flower
And make my dreams come true
Now I will ape your mannerisms
And we’ll be a set of twins
No one will know
Where man-cub ends and orangutan begins
And when I eat bananas
I won’t peel them with my feet
'Cause I’ll become a man
Man-cub and learn some etiquette
Ooh, 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
Human too
Can learn to be
Human too
I wanna be like you
I wanna feel human, too
