i wan'na be like you (the monkey song)

now i'm the king of the swingers

the jungle v.i.p

i reached the top and had to stop

and that's what bothering me

i want to be a man

man-cub

and stroll right into town

and be just like those other men

i'm tired of monkeying around

now don't try to kid me

man-cub

i'll make a deal with you

what i desire is man's red fire/flower to make my dreams come true

so give me the secret

man-cub

clue me what to do

give me the power of man's red flower so i can be like you

ooh-bitchdoo

i wan'na be like you

i want to walk like you

talk like you

too

you see it's true

an ape like me

can learn to be like you

too

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 dreams come true

so give me the secret

man-cub

clue me what to do

give me the power of man's red fire/flower so i can be like you

ooh-bitchdoo

i wan'na be like you

i want to walk like you

talk like you

too
