Big Bad Voodoo Daddy – I Wanna Be Like You lyrics

Now I'm the king of the swingers, boy, Jungle VIP.
I've reached the top and had to stop, and that's what's botherin' me.

I wanna be a man, man-cub,
Stroll right into town,
And be just like the other men,
I'm tired of monkeying around.

So, oh-oh-oh,
I wanna be just like you.
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do.
You see it's true,
An ape like me,
Can learn to be human, too!
Yeah!

Now, don't you mess with me, man-cub,
I made a deal with you.
What I desire is man's red flower, so I can be just like you.
Don't you mess with me, man-cub,
Tell you what to do,
Gimme the power, of man's red flower, so I can be just like you.

So, ooh-ooh-ooh,
I wanna be just like you.
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do.
You see it's true,
An ape like me,
Can learn to be human, too!
Yeah!

Said ooh!
I wanna be just like you.
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do.
You see it's true,
An ape like me,
Can learn to be human, too!
Yeah!
