I Wan'na Be Like You (Monkey Song) - Lucy Woodward

And 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 bothering me

I want to be a man, man cub

And stroll right into town

And be just like those other men

I’m tired of monkeying around

Ooh, ooh

Now don’t try to kid me, man cub

I’ll make a deal with you

What I desire is man’s red fire

To make my dreams come true

So give me the secret, man cub

Clue me what to do

Give me the power of man’s red flower

So I can be like you

Oh, ooh, bi, doo, I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it’s true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human too

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 dreams come true

So give me the secret, man cub

Clue me what to do

Give me the power of man’s red flower

So I can be like you

Oh, ooh, bi, doo, I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it’s true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human too

Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down

Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down

Oh, break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down

Break it down boys, break it down boys, break it down

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 bothering me

I wanna be a man, man cub

And stroll right into town

And be just like those other men

I’m tired of monkeying around

Oh, ooh, bi, doo, I wanna be like you

I wanna walk like you, talk like you, too

You see it’s true, an ape like me

Can learn to be human, too

Can learn to be like someone like me

Oh yeah, oh yeah, one more time

Can learn to be like someone like me
