I Wanna Be Like You Lyrics

(scat)

King Louie:
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
And ape like me
Can learn to be
human, too

(scat and spoken dialoge)
Now, don't try to kid
me, mancub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is
man's redfire
To make my dream
come true
Now give me the
secret, mancub
Come on, clue me
what to do
Give me the pow'r of
man's red flow'r
So I can be like you

(scat)

You!
I wanna be like you!
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
You'll see it's true
Someone like me
Can learn to be
Like someone like me
Ballou:
Take me home, Daddy!

King Louie:
Can learn to be
Like someone like you

Ballou:
One more time!Yeah!

King Louie:
Can learn to be
Like someone like me!
