"I Wanna Be Like You (triple j Like A Version)" lyrics
(originally by Louis Prima)
Now, I'm the king of swingers
Yeah, the jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top, had to stop
And that's what's bothering 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, ooh-bee-do-bee-do
I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
Don't you see it's true!?
A someone like me
Could learn to be someone like you
Oh!
Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I'll make a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dreams come true
Now gimme the secret, mancub
C'mon, clue me down
Give me the path to man's red flower
And I won't mess around
Oh, ooh-bee-do-bee-do
I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
Don't you see it's true!?
A someone like me
Could learn to be someone like you
Oh!
Now, I'm the king of swingers
Yeah, the jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top, had to stop
And that's what's bothering me
Don't wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around
Tired of monkeyin' around
Yeah, the jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top, had to stop
And that's what's bothering 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, ooh-bee-do-bee-do
I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
Don't you see it's true!?
A someone like me
Could learn to be someone like you
Oh!
Now don't try to kid me, mancub
I'll make a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dreams come true
Now gimme the secret, mancub
C'mon, clue me down
Give me the path to man's red flower
And I won't mess around
Oh, ooh-bee-do-bee-do
I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, too
Don't you see it's true!?
A someone like me
Could learn to be someone like you
Oh!
Now, I'm the king of swingers
Yeah, the jungle V.I.P
I've reached the top, had to stop
And that's what's bothering me
Don't wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around
Tired of monkeyin' around
