I Wanna Be Like You From "The Jungle Book" Composed by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman 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's 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 Now don't try to kid me, mancub I made a deal with you What I desire is man's red fire To make my dream come true Now give me the secret, mancub Come on, clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red fire So I can be like you You! I wanna be like you I wanna talk like you Walk like you, too You'll see it's true Someone like me Can learn to be Like someone like me Can learn to be Like someone like you Can learn to be Like someone like me
