Lyrics of I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song) by Tessa Violet
verse
Now I'm the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle V.I.P
I reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's bothering me
I want to be a man, man-cub, and roll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying around
Oh
chorus
Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You 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 great fire to make my dream's come true
Now give me the secret, man-cub, ooh, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you
Oh
chorus
Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You 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 V.I.P
I reached the top and had to stop
And that's what bothering me
Oh
chorus
Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too
outro
Ooh-bee-doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like humans do
Writer(s): Richard M. Sherman, Robert B. Sherman
