I Wanna Be Like You

The Monkey Song

Performed by Louis Prima

King Louie

Sung

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 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 humen too

Spoken

Gee cousin Louie

You're doin' real good

Now here's your part of the deal cuz

Lay the secret on me of man's red fire

But I don't kknow how to make fire

Sung

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

Give me the secret mancub

Clue me what to do

Give me the power of man's red flower

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
