Текст песни I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song) - From "The Jungle Book"/Soundtrack Version - Louis Prima , Phil Harris

Now I'm the king of the swingers'
Oh
The jungle V.I.P.
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
Oh
Oo-be-do
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 human, too!
Oh
Oo-be-do
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 human, too!
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
Now, give me the secret, mancub
C'mon, clue me what to do
Give me the power, of man's red flower
So I can be like you oh
Oh
Oo-be-do
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 human, too!
Oh
Oo-be-do
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 human, too!
Can learn to be human, too!
Can learn to be human, too!
