I Wan'na Be Like You Songtext

von Smash Mouth

Moglee: Can you hear it?
Yea... man!
Y-y-yyyyyea!

Now I'm the king of the swinger zone
The jungle V.I.P
I reached the top, and had to stop
And that's what's bothering me!
I wan'na be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying around

Oh, Ohbeedoo
I wan'na be like you!
I wan'na walk like you,
Talk like you do
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be
Human too!

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 Gimmie the secret man cub
C'mon tell me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you

Oh, Ohbedoo
I wan'na be like you
I wan'na walk like you,
Talk like you do
You'll see it's true
An ape like me
Can learn to be
Human too

Moglee: Check this out!
Can you hear it?
Y-y-yyyyyea!

(Elephant Noise)

Moglee: Hit it papa bear!

(Instrumental Break)

Yeah, you!
I wanna be like you
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you do
You'll see it's true
Someone like me
Can learn to be
Someone like me
I can learn to be
Someone like you
I can learn to be
Someone like me!

Moglee: Yea, man!
