The Jungle Book I Wanna Be Like You (The Monkey Song)

Song lyrics

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!

[MOWGLI speaking]
Gee, cousin Louie, you're doin' real good.

[KING LOUIE speaking]
Now here's your part of the deal, 'cause.
Lay the secret on me of man's red fire.

[MOWGLI speaking]
But I don't know how to make fire.

[KING LOUIE singing]
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.
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.

You!
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 me.
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
Can learn to be
Like someone like me!
