I Wanna Be Like You (Jungle Book) - TV Themes

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

(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 know how to make fire)

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!
