I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song) (Richard Sherman/Robert Sherman) Now I'm the king of the swingers world The jungle be I be I reach the top and have to stop And that's what's a bother to me I wan'na be a man, a man cub And stroll right into town And be just like the other men I'm tired of humping around So, ooh, I wan'na be just like you I wan'na walk like you Talk like you too You see it's true An ape like me Can learn to be human 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 dream come true Give me the secret man cub Just clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower So I can be like you So, ooh, I wan'na be just like you I wan'na walk like you Talk like you too You see it's true An ape like me Can learn to be human too You see it's true An ape like me Can learn to be human too (c) 1966 Wonderland Music Co.
