"I Wanna Be Like You" lyrics

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 botherin' me
I wanna be a man, man-cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around

Oh, oobee doo
(Oob-dee-wee)
I wanna be like you, hoo, hoo
(Ob-dee-doo-bee-doo-bow)
I wanna walk like you
(Cheep)
Talk like you
(Cheep)
Too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true, hoo, hoo
(Shoobedy-doo)
An ape like me, hee, hee
(Scobby-dooby-dooby)
Can learn to be hu-hu-human too-oo-oo
C'mon

Now here's your part of the deal, cuz
Lay the secret on me of man's red fire
(But I don't know how to make fire)

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
Clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you

Oobee doo
(Oob-dee-wee)
I wanna be like you, hoo, hoo
(Ob-dee-doo-bee-doo-bow)
I wanna walk like you
(Cheep)
Talk like you
(Cheep)
Too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true, hoo, hoo
(Shoobedy-doo)
An ape like me, hee, hee
(Scobby-dooby-dooby)
Can learn to be hu-hu-human too-oo-oo
C'mon

C'mon

Oh, oobee doo
(Oob-dee-wee)
I wanna be like you, hoo, hoo
I wanna walk like you
(Cheep)
Talk like you
(Cheep)
Too-oo-oo
You'll see it's true, hoo, hoo
(Shoobedy-doo)
An ape like me, hee, hee
(Scobby-dooby-dooby)
Can learn to be like someone like me
Can learn to be like someone like you
Can learn to be like someone like you
