I Wan'na Be Like You - Imagination Movers

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

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

Now, don’t try to kid me, mancub

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, mancub

Just clue me what to do

Give me the power of man’s red flower

And make my dreams come true

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

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

Can learn to be

Human too

I wanna be like you

I wanna feel human, too
