Lyrics of I Wan’na Be Like You by Robbie Williams,Olly Murs
verse
I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
verse
I wanna be a man, man-cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like them other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around
chorus
Oh-bi-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 human too
verse
Now don't try to kid me, man-cub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
verse
Now, give me the secret, man-cub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
chorus
Oh-bi-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 human too
verse
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 them other men
We're tired of monkeyin' around!

Swing to the left, swing to the right
Put your hands up if you're lovin' life
Rob, I'm lovin' life!
I'm lovin' life Olly!
Oh, I'm lovin' life!
Swing to the left, swing to the right
Put your hands up if you're feelin' nice
Feeling nice, feeling nice, oh I'm feelin' nice
chorus
Oh-bi-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
Like someone like you
outro
Can learn to be like someone like you
Can learn to be like someone like you
Yeah!
(I wanna be like, you know? No, you don't serious)
