I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)

Ah-babba di-di-dibbi-di

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's 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 (hoop du wee)

I wanna be like you (hap-du hobey-du-wa)

I wanna walk like you (chu)

Talk like you, too (chu)

(We-be-de-be-du-wu) you'll see it's true (shubbedey-du)

An ape like me (scubey-dubey-dubey)

Can learn to be human too

Ruppe-ti-coang, ruppe-ti-cing

Zuppa-t'bak t'bak t'bak t'bak t'bak

D'zi-bang-a-nang di-bak, woeep

Jee, 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 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

Now, give me the secret, man cub

Come on, clue me what to do

Give me the power of man's red flower

So I can be like you

Someone like me (scubey-dubey-dubey)

Like someone like me (take me home, daddy!)

Can learn to be

Like someone like you (one more time!)

Yeah, can learn to be

Like someone like me
