I Wanna Be Like You Lyrics

Gabriel Rios I Wanna Be Like You

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!

refrain: Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you
It's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be human too

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, come on,
Clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you

(refrain)
obee doo
I wanna be like you
I wanna talk like you
Walk like you,
it's true
an ape like me
Can learn to be
Human too
Can learn to be
Like someone like you
Can learn to be
Human too
