Louis Prima — I Wan’na Be Like You Single Version

[Verse 1] Now, I'm the king of the swingers, uh 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 [Chorus] Ooh, 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 [Verse 2] Now, don't try to kid me, man-cub And don't get in a stew What I desire is man's red fire So I can be like you Now gimme the secret, man-cub Just clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower And make my dreams come true [Verse 3] Now I will ape your mannerisms And we'll be a set of twins No one will know Where man-cub ends and orangutan begins And when I eat bananas I won't peel them with my feet 'Cause I'll become a man Man-cub and learn some etiquette [Chorus] Ooh, 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 [Outro] Can learn to be Human too I wanna be like you I wanna feel human, too
