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

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, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around

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

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 know how to make fire

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
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you

[Incomprehensible]
Get mad baby
[Incomprehensible]

Oh, oobee doo, I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you, talk 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
