I Wan'na Be Like You Songtext

Smash Mouth - I Wanna Be Like You
(can you hear it?
Yeah, man!
Yeah... man!)
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 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!
Oh, oobee doo
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, man-cub
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, man-cub
Come on, clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So i can be like you.
Oh, oobee doo
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
(check this out.
Can you hear it?
Yeah...
Hit it, papa bear!)
Yeah you!
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
Someone like me
I can learn to be
Someone like you
I can learn to be
Someone like me!
(yeah, man!)
