I wanna be like you – The Jungle Book (Tekst)

Now I'm the king of the swingers
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 human too
Don't try to kid me, mancub
And don't get in a stew
What I desire is man's red fire
So I can be like you
Give me the secret, mancub
Just clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
And make my dream come true
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 human too
I'll make your manerisms
We'll be a set of twins
No one will know mancub ends
And orangutan begins
And when I eat bananas
I won't peel them with my feet
Cause I will become a man mancub
And learn some 'ettikeet'
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 human too
